18 THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 THE CREST sales between June 2010 and May 2024 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 August 2018 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 18 THE CREST be worth now?

18 THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £429,887.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.4%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 THE CREST of £420,000 on 3rd May 2024. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £429,887 over the one year and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 THE CREST has not materially changed since May 2024.
