CROWN COTTAGE 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 two CROWN COTTAGE sales from September 2014 and October 2020 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 2014 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might CROWN COTTAGE be worth now?

CROWN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £670,736.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.9%, between October 2020 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 10.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROWN COTTAGE of £605,000 on 30th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £605,000 to £670,736 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROWN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £605,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROWN COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2020.
