18 ALMA CLOSE 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 18 ALMA CLOSE sales from August 1996 and April 2003 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 August 1996 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the April 2003 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 18 ALMA CLOSE be worth now?

18 ALMA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £566,621.

This is based on house price inflation of 132.2%, between April 2003 and June 2025, 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 132.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 ALMA CLOSE of £244,000 on 4th April 2003. For the value to have increased from £244,000 to £566,621 over the 21 years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 ALMA CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The April 2003 sale price of £244,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 ALMA CLOSE has not materially changed since April 2003.
