THE ROWANS 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 ROWANS sales from October 2014 and September 2022 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 October 2014 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might THE ROWANS be worth now?

THE ROWANS might now be worth an estimated £698,341.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.7%, between September 2022 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 3.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ROWANS of £725,000 on 5th September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £725,000 to £698,341 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ROWANS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ROWANS has not materially changed since September 2022.
