5 POLSTEAD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 POLSTEAD CLOSE sales from June 1996 and April 2011 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 June 1996 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 5 POLSTEAD CLOSE be worth now?

5 POLSTEAD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £437,149.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.4%, between April 2011 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 POLSTEAD CLOSE of £245,000 on 15th April 2011. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £437,149 over the thirteen years and nine months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
