2 COHEN CLOSE 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 four 2 COHEN CLOSE sales between November 2000 and August 2018 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 2006 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 2 COHEN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.2%, between August 2018 and February 2025, 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 17.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 COHEN CLOSE of £355,000 on 31st August 2018. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £416,164 over the seven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
