PUMP 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 PUMP COTTAGE sales from November 1995 and October 2024 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 1995 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might PUMP COTTAGE be worth now?

PUMP COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £656,498.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.5%, between October 2024 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 1.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PUMP COTTAGE of £647,000 on 31st October 2024. For the value to have increased from £647,000 to £656,498 over the one year and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PUMP COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The October 2024 sale price of £647,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PUMP COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2024.
