31 DOVER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 DOVER CLOSE sales from January 2001 and July 2003 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 January 2001 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 31 DOVER CLOSE be worth now?

31 DOVER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £459,632.

This is based on house price inflation of 155.4%, between July 2003 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Havering local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 155.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 DOVER CLOSE of £180,000 on 10th July 2003. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £459,632 over the 22 years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 DOVER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Havering local authority area.
• The July 2003 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
