31 THE ORCHARDS 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 31 THE ORCHARDS sales from November 2011 and November 2017 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 November 2011 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 31 THE ORCHARDS be worth now?

31 THE ORCHARDS might now be worth an estimated £682,371.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.9%, between November 2017 and December 2024, 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 11.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 THE ORCHARDS of £610,000 on 10th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £610,000 to £682,371 over the six years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 THE ORCHARDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £610,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
