SELWOOD 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 four SELWOOD sales between February 1997 and December 2016 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 June 2006 sale was for 105% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 105% above the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it falls to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might SELWOOD be worth now?

SELWOOD might now be worth an estimated £910,182.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.4%, between December 2016 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 26.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SELWOOD of £720,000 on 20th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £720,000 to £910,182 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SELWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bexley local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £720,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SELWOOD has not materially changed since December 2016.
