6 BIRCH CLOSE 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 two 6 BIRCH CLOSE sales from October 2016 and October 2020 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 October 2016 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 6 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.3%, between October 2020 and April 2026, 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 19.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 BIRCH CLOSE of £370,000 on 23rd October 2020. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £441,353 over the six years and six months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
