25 BOWES DRIVE 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 four 25 BOWES DRIVE sales between February 2002 and October 2018 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 December 2013 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 25 BOWES DRIVE be worth now?

25 BOWES DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £498,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.6%, between October 2018 and August 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 18.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 BOWES DRIVE of £420,000 on 29th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £498,233 over the seven years and two months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 25 BOWES DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 25 BOWES DRIVE has not materially changed since October 2018.
