18 ROWLES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 ROWLES CLOSE sales from July 1997 and December 2003 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 1997 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 18 ROWLES CLOSE be worth now?

18 ROWLES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £447,708.

This is based on house price inflation of 129.6%, between December 2003 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 129.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 ROWLES CLOSE of £195,000 on 23rd December 2003. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £447,708 over the 22 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
