8 THE LARCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 THE LARCHES sales between December 1998 and June 2007 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 July 2005 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, which was also at 13% below the HPI.

What might 8 THE LARCHES be worth now?

8 THE LARCHES might now be worth an estimated £404,851.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.6%, between June 2007 and February 2025, for 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 77.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THE LARCHES of £228,000 on 8th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £228,000 to £404,851 over the eighteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 THE LARCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £228,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 THE LARCHES has not materially changed since June 2007.
