17 THE POPLARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 THE POPLARS sales from December 2006 and September 2018 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 December 2006 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 17 THE POPLARS be worth now?

17 THE POPLARS might now be worth an estimated £529,564.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.3%, between September 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Epping Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE POPLARS of £480,000 on 12th September 2018. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £529,564 over the five years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE POPLARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The September 2018 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 THE POPLARS has not materially changed since September 2018.
