The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 79 SOMERSET ROAD sales between May 1997 and August 2021 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 October 2018 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
79 SOMERSET ROAD might now be worth an estimated £492,036.
