7 THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 THE BIRCHES sales from May 1999 and June 2004 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 1999 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 7 THE BIRCHES be worth now?

7 THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £518,553.

This is based on house price inflation of 110.8%, between June 2004 and April 2026, for 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 110.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE BIRCHES of £246,000 on 11th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £246,000 to £518,553 over the 22 years and two months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Castle Point local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £246,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE BIRCHES has not materially changed since June 2004.
