242 STRAIGHT ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 242 STRAIGHT ROAD sales from February 1997 and August 2006 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 February 1997 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 242 STRAIGHT ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 115.6%, between August 2006 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the Havering local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 115.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 242 STRAIGHT ROAD of £282,500 on 4th August 2006. For the value to have increased from £282,500 to £609,132 over the nineteen years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
