16 FIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 FIELD CLOSE sales from November 2003 and May 2004 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 2003 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2004 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 16 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

16 FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £514,463.

This is based on house price inflation of 123.7%, between May 2004 and June 2025, for semi-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 123.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 FIELD CLOSE of £230,000 on 28th May 2004. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £514,463 over the twenty years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The May 2004 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
