The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 51 MELTHAM CLOSE sales between June 1996 and January 2005 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 July 2001 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the January 2005 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
51 MELTHAM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £233,482.
This is based on house price inflation of 87.5%, between January 2005 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 87.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 MELTHAM CLOSE of £124,500 on 28th January 2005. For the value to have increased from £124,500 to £233,482 over the nineteen years and seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
