18 ROBIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 ROBIN CLOSE sales from March 2015 and May 2023 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 2015 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 18 ROBIN CLOSE be worth now?

18 ROBIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £402,925.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between May 2023 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Havering local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 ROBIN CLOSE of £395,000 on 26th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £402,925 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 ROBIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Havering local authority area.
• The May 2023 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
