12B THE ORCHARD 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 four 12B THE ORCHARD sales between December 1996 and April 2018 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 October 2005 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 12B THE ORCHARD be worth now?

12B THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £572,550.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between April 2018 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12B THE ORCHARD of £483,000 on 30th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £483,000 to £572,550 over the five years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12B THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £483,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 12B THE ORCHARD has not materially changed since April 2018.
