LUSS 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 LUSS COTTAGE sales from March 1997 and June 2001 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 March 1997 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the June 2001 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might LUSS COTTAGE be worth now?

LUSS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £923,057.

This is based on house price inflation of 184%, between June 2001 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 184% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LUSS COTTAGE of £325,000 on 29th June 2001. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £923,057 over the 24 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LUSS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The June 2001 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LUSS COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2001.
