1 LABURNUM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 LABURNUM CLOSE sales between November 2006 and November 2017 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 September 2010 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 1 LABURNUM CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 21.8%, between November 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 LABURNUM CLOSE of £282,500 on 3rd November 2017. For the value to have increased from £282,500 to £344,138 over the eight years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
