BRACKEN DELL 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 two BRACKEN DELL sales from December 2003 and May 2015 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 December 2003 sale was for 176% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 176% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 174% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 174% above the HPI.

What might BRACKEN DELL be worth now?

BRACKEN DELL might now be worth an estimated £1,318,779.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.9%, between May 2015 and December 2024, 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 57.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRACKEN DELL of £835,000 on 11th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £835,000 to £1,318,779 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRACKEN DELL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £835,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRACKEN DELL has not materially changed since May 2015.
