7 BARRONS CLOSE 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 7 BARRONS CLOSE sales between June 2005 and August 2019 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 2016 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 7 BARRONS CLOSE be worth now?

7 BARRONS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £436,814.

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between August 2019 and December 2024, 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BARRONS CLOSE of £380,000 on 21st August 2019. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £436,814 over the four years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 BARRONS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
