CASTRA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CASTRA sales between January 1999 and June 2012 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 2002 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might CASTRA be worth now?

CASTRA might now be worth an estimated £919,320.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.1%, between June 2012 and February 2025, for 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 67.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CASTRA of £550,000 on 22nd June 2012. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £919,320 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CASTRA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CASTRA has not materially changed since June 2012.
