5 DRIFT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North West Leicestershire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 DRIFT CLOSE sales between April 1998 and March 2026 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 January 2017 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the March 2026 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 5 DRIFT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between March 2026 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the North West Leicestershire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
