ELSTON 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 three ELSTON COTTAGE sales between November 1999 and April 2018 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 2011 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might ELSTON COTTAGE be worth now?

ELSTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £667,907.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.2%, between April 2018 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 17.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELSTON COTTAGE of £570,000 on 13th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £667,907 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELSTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELSTON COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2018.
