THE HAMMERS 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 HAMMERS sales from May 2002 and July 2007 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 May 2002 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might THE HAMMERS be worth now?

THE HAMMERS might now be worth an estimated £488,295.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.6%, between July 2007 and February 2025, 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 77.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE HAMMERS of £275,000 on 6th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £488,295 over the eighteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE HAMMERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rochford local authority area.
• The July 2007 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE HAMMERS has not materially changed since July 2007.
