5 RIDGEWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Brentwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 RIDGEWAY sales from February 1999 and December 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 February 1999 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 5 RIDGEWAY be worth now?

5 RIDGEWAY might now be worth an estimated £515,977.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.5%, between December 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Brentwood local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 7.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 RIDGEWAY of £480,000 on 17th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £515,977 over the three years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 RIDGEWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Brentwood local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 RIDGEWAY has not materially changed since December 2021.
