DOWER 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 DOWER COTTAGE sales from October 2003 and April 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 October 2003 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.

What might DOWER COTTAGE be worth now?

DOWER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,835,067.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.7%, between April 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 14.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWER COTTAGE of £1,600,000 on 21st April 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,600,000 to £1,835,067 over the four years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOWER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £1,600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWER COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2021.
