55 FOREST EDGE 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 three 55 FOREST EDGE sales between July 1996 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 November 1999 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.

What might 55 FOREST EDGE be worth now?

55 FOREST EDGE might now be worth an estimated £1,036,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.7%, between December 2015 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 33.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 FOREST EDGE of £775,000 on 11th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £1,036,280 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 55 FOREST EDGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
