5 SWALLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 SWALLOW CLOSE sales between January 2000 and May 2024 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 2020 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 5 SWALLOW CLOSE be worth now?

5 SWALLOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £283,048.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between May 2024 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SWALLOW CLOSE of £278,000 on 3rd May 2024. For the value to have increased from £278,000 to £283,048 over the one year and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SWALLOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
