8 ABBOTS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 ABBOTS CLOSE sales from March 1995 and April 2024 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 1995 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 8 ABBOTS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3%, between April 2024 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the Leicester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ABBOTS CLOSE of £290,000 on 3rd April 2024. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £298,608 over the one year and eleven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
