18 BESSEMER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 BESSEMER CLOSE sales between July 1999 and January 2023 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 2004 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 18 BESSEMER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.5%, between January 2023 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Swindon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BESSEMER CLOSE of £325,000 on 4th January 2023. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £329,719 over the one year and six months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
