5 DUCK END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 DUCK END sales from July 1997 and July 2013 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 July 1997 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 5 DUCK END be worth now?

5 DUCK END might now be worth an estimated £410,265.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.1%, between July 2013 and December 2024, for semi-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 64.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DUCK END of £250,000 on 12th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £410,265 over the ten years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 DUCK END has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
