31 RUFUS 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 four 31 RUFUS CLOSE sales between May 2001 and January 2021 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 2015 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
