18 THORNCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 THORNCROFT sales from November 2016 and November 2019 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 November 2016 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 18 THORNCROFT be worth now?

18 THORNCROFT might now be worth an estimated £584,674.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.8%, between November 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Uttlesford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 THORNCROFT of £505,000 on 7th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £505,000 to £584,674 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 THORNCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £505,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
