FERNSIDE 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 FERNSIDE sales from July 1997 and February 2013 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 1997 sale was for 119% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 119% above the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it rises to 154% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 154% above the HPI.

What might FERNSIDE be worth now?

FERNSIDE might now be worth an estimated £1,222,983.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.4%, between February 2013 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 93.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FERNSIDE of £632,500 on 28th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £632,500 to £1,222,983 over the ten years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FERNSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £632,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FERNSIDE has not materially changed since February 2013.
