1 ELM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 ELM CLOSE sales between June 2011 and August 2023 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 March 2020 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 1 ELM CLOSE be worth now?

1 ELM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £499,363.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.4%, between August 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ELM CLOSE of £487,500 on 22nd August 2023. For the value to have increased from £487,500 to £499,363 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ELM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £487,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ELM CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2023.
