26 FOREST LANE 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 three 26 FOREST LANE sales between December 2002 and June 2006 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 April 2005 sale was for 165% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 165% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it rises to 166% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 166% above the HPI.

What might 26 FOREST LANE be worth now?

26 FOREST LANE might now be worth an estimated £2,759,505.

This is based on house price inflation of 110.6%, between June 2006 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 110.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 FOREST LANE of £1,310,000 on 26th June 2006. For the value to have increased from £1,310,000 to £2,759,505 over the nineteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
