3 HERON 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 four 3 HERON CLOSE sales between April 2000 and August 2009 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 November 2003 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 3 HERON CLOSE be worth now?

3 HERON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £359,747.

This is based on house price inflation of 96%, between August 2009 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 96% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 HERON CLOSE of £183,500 on 7th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £183,500 to £359,747 over the sixteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 HERON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £183,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 HERON CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2009.
