14 BRAMBLEDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 14 BRAMBLEDOWN sales from July 1995 and July 2004 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 July 1995 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 14 BRAMBLEDOWN be worth now?

The 95.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 BRAMBLEDOWN of £215,000 on 30th July 2004. For the value to have increased from £215,000 to £420,970 over the nineteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
