1 THE LINKS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE LINKS sales from March 2013 and August 2013 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 2013 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE LINKS be worth now?

1 THE LINKS might now be worth an estimated £527,152.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.4%, between August 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Basildon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 83.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE LINKS of £287,500 on 13th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £527,152 over the ten years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE LINKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £287,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
