SWALLOWS BARN 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 SWALLOWS BARN sales from June 2002 and May 2004 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 June 2002 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the May 2004 sale, where it falls to 120% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 120% above the HPI.

What might SWALLOWS BARN be worth now?

SWALLOWS BARN might now be worth an estimated £843,992.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.8%, between May 2004 and July 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 86.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWALLOWS BARN of £451,700 on 16th May 2004. For the value to have increased from £451,700 to £843,992 over the twenty years and ten months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWALLOWS BARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The May 2004 sale price of £451,700 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWALLOWS BARN has not materially changed since May 2004.
