2 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE 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 six 2 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE sales between October 1995 and April 2011 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 December 2007 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 2 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE be worth now?

The 82.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE of £164,000 on 15th April 2011. For the value to have increased from £164,000 to £299,480 over the twelve years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
