1 ENSIGN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ENSIGN CLOSE sales from May 1999 and August 2011 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 May 1999 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 1 ENSIGN CLOSE be worth now?

1 ENSIGN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £476,329.

This is based on house price inflation of 90.5%, between August 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 90.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ENSIGN CLOSE of £249,995 on 19th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £249,995 to £476,329 over the twelve years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ENSIGN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £249,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ENSIGN CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2011.
