FLINT 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 FLINT COTTAGE sales from October 1999 and September 2008 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 1999 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2008 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might FLINT COTTAGE be worth now?

FLINT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £512,220.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.8%, between September 2008 and December 2024, 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 74.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FLINT COTTAGE of £293,000 on 23rd September 2008. For the value to have increased from £293,000 to £512,220 over the fifteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FLINT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The September 2008 sale price of £293,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FLINT COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2008.
