2 HANCHETTS ORCHARD 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 three 2 HANCHETTS ORCHARD sales between October 1996 and February 2014 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 August 2007 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 2 HANCHETTS ORCHARD be worth now?

2 HANCHETTS ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £404,434.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.6%, between February 2014 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 52.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 HANCHETTS ORCHARD of £265,000 on 18th February 2014. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £404,434 over the nine years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 HANCHETTS ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The February 2014 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
