The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 ROMSEY ROAD sales from December 1995 and September 1999 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 1995 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
38 ROMSEY ROAD might now be worth an estimated £388,354.
This is based on house price inflation of 379.4%, between September 1999 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Castle Point local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 379.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 ROMSEY ROAD of £81,000 on 17th September 1999. For the value to have increased from £81,000 to £388,354 over the 24 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
