KENBROOK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four KENBROOK sales between October 2002 and June 2014 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 January 2007 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might KENBROOK be worth now?

KENBROOK might now be worth an estimated £308,817.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.9%, between June 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 66.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for KENBROOK of £185,000 on 30th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £308,817 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KENBROOK has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of KENBROOK has not materially changed since June 2014.
