22 LONG 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 three 22 LONG CLOSE sales between April 1996 and June 2011 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 May 2002 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it rises to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might 22 LONG CLOSE be worth now?

22 LONG CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £851,915.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.5%, between June 2011 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 80.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 LONG CLOSE of £472,000 on 29th June 2011. For the value to have increased from £472,000 to £851,915 over the fourteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 22 LONG CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The June 2011 sale price of £472,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
