THE WILLOWS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE WILLOWS sales between November 2000 and March 2016 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 April 2006 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might THE WILLOWS be worth now?

THE WILLOWS might now be worth an estimated £945,286.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.7%, between March 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Thurrock local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE WILLOWS of £702,000 on 18th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £702,000 to £945,286 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE WILLOWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Thurrock local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £702,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE WILLOWS has not materially changed since March 2016.
