The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 JAMES CLOSE sales from October 2009 and March 2024 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 October 2009 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
4 JAMES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £479,138.
This is based on house price inflation of 6.5%, between March 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Havering local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
