2 HIGH MEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 2 HIGH MEAD sales between May 1998 and February 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 August 2004 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 2 HIGH MEAD be worth now?

2 HIGH MEAD might now be worth an estimated £486,070.

This is based on house price inflation of 80%, between February 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 80% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 HIGH MEAD of £270,000 on 15th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £486,070 over the ten years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 HIGH MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 HIGH MEAD has not materially changed since February 2013.
