1 DOUGLAS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales from February 1996 and April 2000 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 February 1996 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the April 2000 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 1 DOUGLAS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 324.7%, between April 2000 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Thurrock local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 324.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DOUGLAS CLOSE of £137,995 on 14th April 2000. For the value to have increased from £137,995 to £586,097 over the 23 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
