3 LONGCROFT 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 three 3 LONGCROFT sales between October 2010 and March 2025 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 September 2015 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 3 LONGCROFT be worth now?

3 LONGCROFT might now be worth an estimated £796,114.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.5%, between March 2025 and April 2026, 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 3.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 LONGCROFT of £825,000 on 18th March 2025. For the value to have decreased from £825,000 to £796,114 over the eleven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 LONGCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The March 2025 sale price of £825,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 LONGCROFT has not materially changed since March 2025.
