3 GUINEA 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 three 3 GUINEA CLOSE sales between April 1996 and July 2005 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 September 2000 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, which was also at 16% below the HPI.

What might 3 GUINEA CLOSE be worth now?
