THE MOUNT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE MOUNT sales from December 1996 and October 2004 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 December 1996 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the October 2004 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might THE MOUNT be worth now?

THE MOUNT might now be worth an estimated £500,377.

This is based on house price inflation of 100.2%, between October 2004 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Castle Point local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 100.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE MOUNT of £250,000 on 29th October 2004. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £500,377 over the nineteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE MOUNT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The October 2004 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE MOUNT has not materially changed since October 2004.
