5 THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE ORCHARD sales from May 2016 and September 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 May 2016 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE ORCHARD be worth now?

5 THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £412,417.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.7%, between September 2020 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Basildon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE ORCHARD of £356,500 on 25th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £356,500 to £412,417 over the three years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £356,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
