3 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 3 THORNCROFT sales from March 2000 and September 2020 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 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 3 THORNCROFT be worth now?

3 THORNCROFT might now be worth an estimated £484,571.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.3%, between September 2020 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 8.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THORNCROFT of £447,500 on 4th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £447,500 to £484,571 over the three years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The September 2020 sale price of £447,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
