2 ELM CLOSE 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 two 2 ELM CLOSE sales from October 1996 and August 2001 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 October 1996 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 2 ELM CLOSE be worth now?

2 ELM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £440,418.

This is based on house price inflation of 210.2%, between August 2001 and May 2026, 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 210.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 ELM CLOSE of £142,000 on 21st August 2001. For the value to have increased from £142,000 to £440,418 over the 25 years and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 ELM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The August 2001 sale price of £142,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
