2 BUSHEY LEY 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 six 2 BUSHEY LEY sales between October 1999 and October 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 October 2010 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 2 BUSHEY LEY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 41.1%, between October 2015 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 41.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BUSHEY LEY of £285,000 on 23rd October 2015. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £402,052 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
