BELL COTTAGE 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 BELL COTTAGE sales from May 2018 and March 2021 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 May 2018 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, which was also at 46% below the HPI.

What might BELL COTTAGE be worth now?

BELL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £558,737.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.6%, between March 2021 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 14.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BELL COTTAGE of £487,500 on 12th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £487,500 to £558,737 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BELL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £487,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BELL COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2021.
