GATE 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 three GATE COTTAGE sales between January 2003 and February 2025 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 November 2014 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
