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 August 2007 and February 2023 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 2007 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £1,435,028.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.4%, between February 2023 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 0.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £1,430,000 on 28th February 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,430,000 to £1,435,028 over the two years to February 2025, 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 February 2023 sale price of £1,430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since February 2023.
