18 SHELLCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 SHELLCROFT sales from April 2004 and October 2019 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 2004 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 18 SHELLCROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.8%, between October 2019 and February 2025, for 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 18.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 SHELLCROFT of £302,500 on 28th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £302,500 to £359,258 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
