5 THORN LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THORN LANE sales between July 1996 and November 2011 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 November 1998 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 5 THORN LANE be worth now?

5 THORN LANE might now be worth an estimated £492,945.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.2%, between November 2011 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Havering local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 97.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THORN LANE of £250,000 on 4th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £492,945 over the twelve years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THORN LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Havering local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THORN LANE has not materially changed since November 2011.
