5 HIGHFIELD AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

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 5 HIGHFIELD AVENUE sales from June 2003 and April 2011 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 2003 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 5 HIGHFIELD AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 94.7%, between April 2011 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 94.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HIGHFIELD AVENUE of £260,000 on 11th April 2011. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £506,281 over the twelve years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
