2 SWALLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 SWALLOW CLOSE sales from December 1999 and March 2022 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 December 1999 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might 2 SWALLOW CLOSE be worth now?

2 SWALLOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £546,143.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.1%, between March 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 7.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SWALLOW CLOSE of £510,000 on 18th March 2022. For the value to have increased from £510,000 to £546,143 over the three years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SWALLOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The March 2022 sale price of £510,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
