5 THE WEALD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Preston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE WEALD sales from June 2020 and October 2025 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 2020 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2025 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE WEALD be worth now?

5 THE WEALD might now be worth an estimated £265,403.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.2%, between October 2025 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the Preston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE WEALD of £265,000 on 23rd October 2025. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £265,403 over the one year and five months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE WEALD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Preston local authority area.
• The October 2025 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE WEALD has not materially changed since October 2025.
