5 RECTORY CLOSE 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 three 5 RECTORY CLOSE sales between January 2004 and December 2015 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 February 2013 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 5 RECTORY CLOSE be worth now?

5 RECTORY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £509,181.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.9%, between December 2015 and February 2025, 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 30.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 RECTORY CLOSE of £389,000 on 4th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £389,000 to £509,181 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 RECTORY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £389,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
