7 DOWNESWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 DOWNESWAY sales from June 2016 and June 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 June 2016 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 7 DOWNESWAY be worth now?

7 DOWNESWAY might now be worth an estimated £366,787.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.3%, between June 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Castle Point local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 DOWNESWAY of £310,000 on 10th June 2020. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £366,787 over the five years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 DOWNESWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The June 2020 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
