8 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bexley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 THE CLOSE sales from December 2014 and December 2021 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 2014 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might 8 THE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Bexley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE CLOSE of £977,500 on 10th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £977,500 to £1,046,351 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
