2 BARN MEAD 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 three 2 BARN MEAD sales between September 2001 and December 2009 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 June 2007 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 2 BARN MEAD be worth now?

2 BARN MEAD might now be worth an estimated £564,803.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.8%, between December 2009 and December 2024, 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 92.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BARN MEAD of £293,000 on 17th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £293,000 to £564,803 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BARN MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £293,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
