OWL 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 OWL COTTAGE sales between April 1999 and May 2013 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 2002 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, which was also at 46% below the HPI.

What might OWL COTTAGE be worth now?

OWL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £394,524.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.4%, between May 2013 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 64.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OWL COTTAGE of £240,000 on 17th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £394,524 over the twelve years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OWL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OWL COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2013.
