OAK LODGE 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 OAK LODGE sales between August 1996 and September 2003 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 2000 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the September 2003 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might OAK LODGE be worth now?

OAK LODGE might now be worth an estimated £693,231.

This is based on house price inflation of 139%, between September 2003 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 139% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK LODGE of £290,000 on 10th September 2003. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £693,231 over the 22 years and one month to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Epping Forest local authority area.
• The September 2003 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK LODGE has not materially changed since September 2003.
