1 COOKS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 COOKS CLOSE sales from September 1998 and May 2002 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 1998 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 1 COOKS CLOSE be worth now?

1 COOKS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £247,579.

This is based on house price inflation of 185.4%, between May 2002 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Braintree local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 185.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 COOKS CLOSE of £86,750 on 22nd May 2002. For the value to have increased from £86,750 to £247,579 over the 23 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
