35 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 two 35 BOWES DRIVE sales from May 2006 and May 2008 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 May 2006 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 35 BOWES DRIVE be worth now?

35 BOWES DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £528,111.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.8%, between May 2008 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 77.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 35 BOWES DRIVE of £297,000 on 16th May 2008. For the value to have increased from £297,000 to £528,111 over the sixteen years and nine months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 35 BOWES DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The May 2008 sale price of £297,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
