QUEENS 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 two QUEENS COTTAGE sales from February 1996 and May 2018 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 February 1996 sale was for 88% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 63% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% below the HPI.

What might QUEENS COTTAGE be worth now?

QUEENS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £379,884.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between May 2018 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 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for QUEENS COTTAGE of £327,500 on 24th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £327,500 to £379,884 over the seven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of QUEENS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The May 2018 sale price of £327,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of QUEENS COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2018.
