15 RUSTIC 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 three 15 RUSTIC CLOSE sales between June 2003 and June 2016 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 April 2013 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might 15 RUSTIC CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 30.2%, between June 2016 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 30.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 RUSTIC CLOSE of £401,000 on 15th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £401,000 to £522,188 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
