SYLVAN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SYLVAN sales from August 2002 and January 2016 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 August 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might SYLVAN be worth now?

SYLVAN might now be worth an estimated £695,906.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.1%, between January 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Basildon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SYLVAN of £507,500 on 22nd January 2016. For the value to have increased from £507,500 to £695,906 over the eight years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SYLVAN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basildon local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £507,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SYLVAN has not materially changed since January 2016.
