17 THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 THE BIRCHES sales from November 1996 and June 2021 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 November 1996 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might 17 THE BIRCHES be worth now?

17 THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £483,153.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.8%, between June 2021 and February 2025, for semi-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 9.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE BIRCHES of £440,000 on 22nd June 2021. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £483,153 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £440,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
