5 WATCHCOTE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 WATCHCOTE sales between November 1995 and July 2013 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 March 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 5 WATCHCOTE be worth now?

5 WATCHCOTE might now be worth an estimated £233,038.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.1%, between July 2013 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 WATCHCOTE of £142,000 on 5th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £142,000 to £233,038 over the twelve years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 WATCHCOTE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £142,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 WATCHCOTE has not materially changed since July 2013.
