14 COMMA 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 four 14 COMMA CLOSE sales between May 1995 and July 2021 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 May 2016 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the July 2021 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 14 COMMA CLOSE be worth now?

14 COMMA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £308,496.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.3%, between July 2021 and December 2024, 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 14.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 COMMA CLOSE of £269,950 on 20th July 2021. For the value to have increased from £269,950 to £308,496 over the two years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
