18 ABBESS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 ABBESS CLOSE sales from February 2013 and December 2016 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 February 2013 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 18 ABBESS CLOSE be worth now?

18 ABBESS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £829,044.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.5%, between December 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 ABBESS CLOSE of £640,000 on 20th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £640,000 to £829,044 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
