8 KIRK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 KIRK CLOSE sales from January 2009 and October 2025 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 2009 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the October 2025 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 8 KIRK CLOSE be worth now?
