OAK TREE 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 four OAK TREE COTTAGE sales between December 1996 and December 2007 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 July 2006 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the December 2007 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might OAK TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,223,681.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.3%, between December 2007 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 81.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK TREE COTTAGE of £675,000 on 17th December 2007. For the value to have increased from £675,000 to £1,223,681 over the eighteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The December 2007 sale price of £675,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK TREE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2007.
