4 ELM COTTAGES 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 five 4 ELM COTTAGES sales between July 2004 and October 2022 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 January 2020 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 4 ELM COTTAGES be worth now?

4 ELM COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £499,458.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between October 2022 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 1.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ELM COTTAGES of £490,000 on 7th October 2022. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £499,458 over the three years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 ELM COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The October 2022 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 ELM COTTAGES has not materially changed since October 2022.
