26 GILBERT WAY 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 four 26 GILBERT WAY sales between February 1997 and September 2022 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 2004 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 26 GILBERT WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 0.6%, between September 2022 and December 2024, 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 0.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 GILBERT WAY of £280,000 on 29th September 2022. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £281,689 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
