42 CHARLES BABBAGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Kingston upon Thames local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 CHARLES BABBAGE CLOSE sales between March 2000 and August 2017 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 April 2010 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI.

What might 42 CHARLES BABBAGE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between August 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Kingston upon Thames local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 CHARLES BABBAGE CLOSE of £680,000 on 9th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £799,014 over the eight years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
