17 THE KENTINGS 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 two 17 THE KENTINGS sales from August 1999 and November 2015 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 1999 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 17 THE KENTINGS be worth now?

17 THE KENTINGS might now be worth an estimated £308,701.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.7%, between November 2015 and February 2025, 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 38.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE KENTINGS of £222,500 on 5th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £222,500 to £308,701 over the ten years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE KENTINGS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £222,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
