8 ALAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 ALAN CLOSE sales between July 1996 and August 2017 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 September 2001 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 8 ALAN CLOSE be worth now?

8 ALAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £341,122.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.6%, between August 2017 and June 2025, for 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 19.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ALAN CLOSE of £285,250 on 25th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £285,250 to £341,122 over the eight years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ALAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £285,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
