8 BENEDICT 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 two 8 BENEDICT CLOSE sales from May 1997 and August 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 1997 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 8 BENEDICT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68.5%, between August 2011 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 68.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BENEDICT CLOSE of £390,000 on 16th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £656,975 over the fourteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
