SYLVE 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 SYLVE sales from December 1998 and February 2002 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 December 1998 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2002 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might SYLVE be worth now?

SYLVE might now be worth an estimated £961,473.

This is based on house price inflation of 182.8%, between February 2002 and December 2024, 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 182.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SYLVE of £340,000 on 1st February 2002. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £961,473 over the 21 years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SYLVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The February 2002 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SYLVE has not materially changed since February 2002.
