4 FIR TREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 FIR TREE CLOSE sales between December 1996 and December 2015 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 June 2004 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 4 FIR TREE CLOSE be worth now?
