COBBS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COBBS COTTAGE sales from May 2016 and January 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 May 2016 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might COBBS COTTAGE be worth now?

COBBS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £606,264.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.8%, between January 2025 and February 2025, for 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 2.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COBBS COTTAGE of £590,000 on 17th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £606,264 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COBBS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £590,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COBBS COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2025.
