5 BENSKYN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BENSKYN CLOSE sales from June 1999 and September 2001 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 1999 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 5 BENSKYN CLOSE be worth now?

The 213.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BENSKYN CLOSE of £131,500 on 5th September 2001. For the value to have increased from £131,500 to £411,727 over the 25 years and four months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
