20 THE ORCHARD 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 two 20 THE ORCHARD sales from April 2010 and May 2014 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 April 2010 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 20 THE ORCHARD be worth now?

20 THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £433,696.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.5%, between May 2014 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 73.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 THE ORCHARD of £250,000 on 30th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £433,696 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
