3 ENSIGN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 3 ENSIGN CLOSE sales between April 1999 and September 2023 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 January 2010 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 3 ENSIGN CLOSE be worth now?

3 ENSIGN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £532,868.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.3%, between September 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 ENSIGN CLOSE of £540,000 on 29th September 2023. For the value to have decreased from £540,000 to £532,868 over the two years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 ENSIGN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
