280 CRESSING ROAD 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 two 280 CRESSING ROAD sales from May 2004 and June 2012 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 May 2004 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 280 CRESSING ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 77.9%, between June 2012 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 77.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 280 CRESSING ROAD of £210,000 on 6th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £210,000 to £373,491 over the eleven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
