HOLLY LODGE 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 HOLLY LODGE sales between September 1996 and January 2023 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 2018 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.

What might HOLLY LODGE be worth now?

HOLLY LODGE might now be worth an estimated £827,064.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.7%, between January 2023 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 2.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLLY LODGE of £850,000 on 12th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £850,000 to £827,064 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLLY LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £850,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLLY LODGE has not materially changed since January 2023.
