5 LINKS WAY 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 5 LINKS WAY sales from June 2018 and November 2020 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 2018 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 5 LINKS WAY be worth now?

5 LINKS WAY might now be worth an estimated £490,011.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.3%, between November 2020 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 15.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LINKS WAY of £425,000 on 26th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £490,011 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LINKS WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 LINKS WAY has not materially changed since November 2020.
