8 DOWNTON ROAD 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 five 8 DOWNTON ROAD sales between December 1997 and June 2018 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 2018 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 8 DOWNTON ROAD be worth now?

8 DOWNTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £287,078.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.2%, between June 2018 and December 2024, 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 22.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 DOWNTON ROAD of £235,000 on 1st June 2018. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £287,078 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
