THE BRIARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BRIARS sales between April 1998 and May 2008 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 July 2003 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might THE BRIARS be worth now?

THE BRIARS might now be worth an estimated £738,828.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.2%, between May 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Thurrock local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 85.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BRIARS of £399,000 on 16th May 2008. For the value to have increased from £399,000 to £738,828 over the seventeen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BRIARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Thurrock local authority area.
• The May 2008 sale price of £399,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BRIARS has not materially changed since May 2008.
