THE ELMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ELMS sales from June 2008 and July 2019 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 2008 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.

What might THE ELMS be worth now?

THE ELMS might now be worth an estimated £1,067,497.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.4%, between July 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ELMS of £950,000 on 26th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £950,000 to £1,067,497 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ELMS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £950,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ELMS has not materially changed since July 2019.
