THE LAURELS 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 THE LAURELS sales from November 2006 and November 2014 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 2006 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £1,350,447.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.2%, between November 2014 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 39.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £970,000 on 20th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £970,000 to £1,350,447 over the nine years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £970,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since November 2014.
