3 THE LINDENS 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 3 THE LINDENS sales from November 2001 and April 2017 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 2001 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 3 THE LINDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between April 2017 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 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE LINDENS of £320,000 on 7th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £395,767 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
