HILL CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILL CREST sales from December 2000 and March 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 December 2000 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, which was also at 72% above the HPI.

What might HILL CREST be worth now?

HILL CREST might now be worth an estimated £651,810.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.4%, between March 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILL CREST of £570,000 on 2nd March 2021. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £651,810 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILL CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILL CREST has not materially changed since March 2021.
