1 RUFFLES 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 RUFFLES CLOSE sales between November 2002 and December 2010 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 2010 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 1 RUFFLES CLOSE be worth now?

1 RUFFLES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £618,379.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.8%, between December 2010 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 80.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 RUFFLES CLOSE of £342,000 on 17th December 2010. For the value to have increased from £342,000 to £618,379 over the fifteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 RUFFLES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The December 2010 sale price of £342,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
