ORCHARDSIDE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ORCHARDSIDE sales between May 1999 and October 2020 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 September 2009 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 63% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARDSIDE be worth now?

ORCHARDSIDE might now be worth an estimated £925,145.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Maldon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARDSIDE of £795,000 on 5th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £795,000 to £925,145 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARDSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Maldon local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £795,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARDSIDE has not materially changed since October 2020.
