LONGVIEW 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 LONGVIEW sales from January 2014 and May 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 January 2014 sale was for 197% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 197% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.

What might LONGVIEW be worth now?

LONGVIEW might now be worth an estimated £2,038,797.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.9%, between May 2018 and March 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 14.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGVIEW of £1,775,000 on 25th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,775,000 to £2,038,797 over the seven years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGVIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The May 2018 sale price of £1,775,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGVIEW has not materially changed since May 2018.
