32 RYE GRASS WAY 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 32 RYE GRASS WAY sales from August 2002 and March 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 August 2002 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 32 RYE GRASS WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6%, between March 2022 and December 2024, 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 6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 RYE GRASS WAY of £490,000 on 3rd March 2022. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £519,331 over the one year and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 32 RYE GRASS WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
