26 STIRLING 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 three 26 STIRLING CLOSE sales between March 1999 and September 2012 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 September 2001 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 26 STIRLING CLOSE be worth now?

26 STIRLING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £320,512.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.1%, between September 2012 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 80.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 STIRLING CLOSE of £178,000 on 7th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £178,000 to £320,512 over the thirteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 STIRLING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £178,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
