278 PORTSWOOD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 278 PORTSWOOD ROAD sales between June 2003 and February 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 September 2016 sale was for 4306% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4306% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 278 PORTSWOOD ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.1%, between February 2018 and July 2025, for semi-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 22.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 278 PORTSWOOD ROAD of £250,000 on 1st February 2018. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £305,185 over the six years and seven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
