4 LATCHING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 LATCHING CLOSE sales from June 1995 and March 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 June 1995 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 4 LATCHING CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.4%, between March 2023 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).

The 1.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LATCHING CLOSE of £540,000 on 8th March 2023. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £547,571 over the two years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
