1 THE WOOST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE WOOST sales from January 2002 and November 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 January 2002 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE WOOST be worth now?

1 THE WOOST might now be worth an estimated £540,031.

This is based on house price inflation of 116%, between November 2003 and December 2024, for 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 116% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE WOOST of £250,000 on 21st November 2003. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £540,031 over the twenty years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE WOOST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The November 2003 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE WOOST has not materially changed since November 2003.
