1 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewisham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE CLOSE sales from October 1995 and September 1998 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 October 1995 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the September 1998 sale, where it rises to 241% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 241% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE CLOSE be worth now?

1 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £3,772,060.

This is based on house price inflation of 484.8%, between September 1998 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Lewisham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 484.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE CLOSE of £645,000 on 7th September 1998. For the value to have increased from £645,000 to £3,772,060 over the 27 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Lewisham local authority area.
• The September 1998 sale price of £645,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since September 1998.
