17 MOUNT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 MOUNT CLOSE sales from March 2004 and December 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 2004 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 17 MOUNT CLOSE be worth now?

17 MOUNT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £377,717.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.5%, between December 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 86.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 MOUNT CLOSE of £202,500 on 13th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £202,500 to £377,717 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 MOUNT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £202,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
