34 CASTLE STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 34 CASTLE STREET sales from March 2003 and January 2021 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 2003 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 34 CASTLE STREET be worth now?

34 CASTLE STREET might now be worth an estimated £449,570.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.5%, between January 2021 and February 2025, for semi-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 13.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 CASTLE STREET of £396,000 on 25th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £396,000 to £449,570 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 CASTLE STREET has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £396,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
