The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 79 THE DROVE sales from March 2003 and May 2019 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 March 2003 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
79 THE DROVE might now be worth an estimated £516,251.
This is based on house price inflation of 21.5%, between May 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Test Valley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 21.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 THE DROVE of £425,000 on 15th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £516,251 over the six years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
