26 BOWES DRIVE 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 26 BOWES DRIVE sales from September 1996 and April 2023 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 1996 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.

What might 26 BOWES DRIVE be worth now?

26 BOWES DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £459,216.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between April 2023 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 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 BOWES DRIVE of £450,000 on 21st April 2023. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £459,216 over the two years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

  • The value of 26 BOWES DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
  • The April 2023 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
  • The size, condition, and specification of 26 BOWES DRIVE has not materially changed since April 2023.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is a theoretical estimate based on assumptions which may or may not be correct. It should not be relied on for any purpose.
