2 BOTANY DRIVE 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 2 BOTANY DRIVE sales from June 2001 and July 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 June 2001 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 2 BOTANY DRIVE be worth now?

2 BOTANY DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £329,297.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.6%, between July 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).

The 54.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BOTANY DRIVE of £213,000 on 11th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £213,000 to £329,297 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BOTANY DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £213,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
