5 WATTS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 WATTS CLOSE sales from May 1997 and June 1998 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 1997 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the June 1998 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 5 WATTS CLOSE be worth now?

5 WATTS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £337,864.

This is based on house price inflation of 312%, between June 1998 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Southampton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 312% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 WATTS CLOSE of £82,000 on 30th June 1998. For the value to have increased from £82,000 to £337,864 over the 27 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 WATTS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Southampton local authority area.

• The size, condition, and specification of 5 WATTS CLOSE has not materially changed since June 1998.
