THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brentwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE LAURELS sales between June 1999 and October 2014 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 September 2006 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £791,033.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.5%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Brentwood local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 44.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £547,500 on 30th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £547,500 to £791,033 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brentwood local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £547,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since October 2014.
