46 MELCOMBE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 46 MELCOMBE ROAD sales from September 2009 and April 2021 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 September 2009 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 46 MELCOMBE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 13.9%, between April 2021 and December 2024, for 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 13.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 46 MELCOMBE ROAD of £315,000 on 26th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £358,847 over the two years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
