2 THE BRAMBLES 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 two 2 THE BRAMBLES sales from November 1998 and April 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 November 1998 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 2 THE BRAMBLES be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 66.3%, between April 2014 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 66.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE BRAMBLES of £285,000 on 25th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £473,950 over the nine years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The April 2014 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
