16 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 three 16 COMMA CLOSE sales between May 1995 and August 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 November 2012 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 16 COMMA CLOSE be worth now?

16 COMMA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £311,872.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.4%, between August 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 13.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 COMMA CLOSE of £275,000 on 10th August 2021. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £311,872 over the two years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 COMMA CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
