19 DOWNESWAY 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 three 19 DOWNESWAY sales between October 2004 and September 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 May 2011 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 19 DOWNESWAY be worth now?

19 DOWNESWAY might now be worth an estimated £360,646.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.3%, between September 2015 and December 2024, 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 50.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 DOWNESWAY of £240,000 on 4th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £360,646 over the eight years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 19 DOWNESWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 19 DOWNESWAY has not materially changed since September 2015.
