THE NUTSHELL Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE NUTSHELL sales between December 1998 and December 2009 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 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might THE NUTSHELL be worth now?

THE NUTSHELL might now be worth an estimated £450,623.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.1%, between December 2009 and December 2024, for semi-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 82.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE NUTSHELL of £247,500 on 18th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £247,500 to £450,623 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE NUTSHELL has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £247,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE NUTSHELL has not materially changed since December 2009.
