188 CRESSING ROAD 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 188 CRESSING ROAD sales between September 1995 and January 2014 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 September 2001 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 188 CRESSING ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68.1%, between January 2014 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).
