31 GULLS CROFT 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 five 31 GULLS CROFT sales between February 1999 and June 2021 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 2004 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 31 GULLS CROFT be worth now?
