7 FOREST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 FOREST DRIVE sales from September 2001 and March 2005 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 September 2001 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it rises to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.

What might 7 FOREST DRIVE be worth now?

7 FOREST DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £537,562.

This is based on house price inflation of 124%, between March 2005 and February 2025, for 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 124% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 FOREST DRIVE of £240,000 on 31st March 2005. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £537,562 over the twenty years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 FOREST DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The March 2005 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 FOREST DRIVE has not materially changed since March 2005.
