4 WELCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 WELCH CLOSE sales between June 2004 and October 2024 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 2017 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 59% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% below the HPI.

What might 4 WELCH CLOSE be worth now?

4 WELCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £168,953.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.2%, between October 2024 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 WELCH CLOSE of £172,800 on 29th October 2024. For the value to have decreased from £172,800 to £168,953 over the one year and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 WELCH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area.
• The October 2024 sale price of £172,800 represented a fair market value for the property.
