23A MELCOMBE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 23A MELCOMBE ROAD sales between October 1996 and August 2012 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 May 2004 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 23A MELCOMBE ROAD be worth now?

23A MELCOMBE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £285,091.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.9%, between August 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 83.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23A MELCOMBE ROAD of £155,000 on 23rd August 2012. For the value to have increased from £155,000 to £285,091 over the thirteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23A MELCOMBE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £155,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
