12 BIRCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 BIRCH CLOSE sales between May 1997 and November 2003 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 December 2000 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 12 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 119.8%, between November 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Thurrock local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 119.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 BIRCH CLOSE of £227,000 on 24th November 2003. For the value to have increased from £227,000 to £498,860 over the 22 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
