14 WESTWATER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 14 WESTWATER sales between July 1997 and January 2015 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 July 2002 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 14 WESTWATER be worth now?

14 WESTWATER might now be worth an estimated £590,810.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.5%, between January 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Castle Point local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 53.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 WESTWATER of £385,000 on 30th January 2015. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £590,810 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 WESTWATER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 14 WESTWATER has not materially changed since January 2015.
