2 PUFFIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 PUFFIN CLOSE sales between September 2001 and September 2016 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 2012 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 2 PUFFIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 26%, between September 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Basildon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 PUFFIN CLOSE of £320,000 on 7th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £403,277 over the nine years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 PUFFIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
