55 SHEPARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 55 SHEPARD CLOSE sales from February 1995 and June 2019 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 1995 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 55 SHEPARD CLOSE be worth now?

55 SHEPARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £467,148.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.8%, between June 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 SHEPARD CLOSE of £400,000 on 21st June 2019. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £467,148 over the four years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
