LABURNUM 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 LABURNUM sales from April 2017 and November 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 April 2017 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might LABURNUM be worth now?

LABURNUM might now be worth an estimated £640,246.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.8%, between November 2023 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 0.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LABURNUM of £635,000 on 21st November 2023. For the value to have increased from £635,000 to £640,246 over the two years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LABURNUM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The November 2023 sale price of £635,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LABURNUM has not materially changed since November 2023.
