131 TORTOISESHELL WAY 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 three 131 TORTOISESHELL WAY sales between October 1999 and May 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 August 2003 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2025 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.
