5 LINDEN LEAS 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 three 5 LINDEN LEAS sales between August 2001 and March 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 May 2003 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 5 LINDEN LEAS be worth now?

5 LINDEN LEAS might now be worth an estimated £409,499.

This is based on house price inflation of 56%, between March 2015 and February 2025, 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 56% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LINDEN LEAS of £262,500 on 13th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £262,500 to £409,499 over the ten years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LINDEN LEAS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £262,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 LINDEN LEAS has not materially changed since March 2015.
