ELLENSMEAD Sold Prices

The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Epping Forest local authority area for the corresponding sale date.

2017 17 JAN	£880,000	£876,629	Close to HPI

ELLENSMEAD 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 ELLENSMEAD sales from January 1997 and January 2017 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 January 1997 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might ELLENSMEAD be worth now?

ELLENSMEAD might now be worth an estimated £1,042,915.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between January 2017 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELLENSMEAD of £880,000 on 17th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £880,000 to £1,042,915 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELLENSMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £880,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELLENSMEAD has not materially changed since January 2017.
