8 DOUGLAS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Guildford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales between February 2006 and May 2009 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 July 2006 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 8 DOUGLAS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 106.9%, between May 2009 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Guildford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
