STOCKSMEAD 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 STOCKSMEAD sales between November 1996 and August 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 August 1999 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.

What might STOCKSMEAD be worth now?

STOCKSMEAD might now be worth an estimated £1,537,787.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.5%, between August 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 2.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STOCKSMEAD of £1,500,000 on 2nd August 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,500,000 to £1,537,787 over the one year and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STOCKSMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £1,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STOCKSMEAD has not materially changed since August 2024.
