THE PADDOX 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 two THE PADDOX sales from August 2000 and February 2011 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 2000 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it rises to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.

What might THE PADDOX be worth now?

THE PADDOX might now be worth an estimated £1,291,182.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.6%, between February 2011 and December 2024, 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 66.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE PADDOX of £775,000 on 21st February 2011. For the value to have increased from £775,000 to £1,291,182 over the twelve years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE PADDOX has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The February 2011 sale price of £775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE PADDOX has not materially changed since February 2011.
