20 DOWNESWAY 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 20 DOWNESWAY sales from August 2000 and January 2018 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 2000 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 20 DOWNESWAY be worth now?

20 DOWNESWAY might now be worth an estimated £327,214.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.9%, between January 2018 and May 2026, 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 25.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 DOWNESWAY of £260,000 on 15th January 2018. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £327,214 over the seven years and eight months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 DOWNESWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £260,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
