2 LIVINGSTONE CLOSE 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 2 LIVINGSTONE CLOSE sales from March 2000 and August 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 March 2000 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might 2 LIVINGSTONE CLOSE be worth now?

2 LIVINGSTONE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £496,230.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.5%, between August 2018 and February 2025, 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 11.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 LIVINGSTONE CLOSE of £445,000 on 15th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £496,230 over the seven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 LIVINGSTONE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
