8 CENTURY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 CENTURY CLOSE sales from December 2000 and October 2014 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 December 2000 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 8 CENTURY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 39.7%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 CENTURY CLOSE of £242,500 on 28th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £242,500 to £338,792 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
