4 ABBOTTS 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 two 4 ABBOTTS CROFT sales from September 2013 and January 2016 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 2013 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 4 ABBOTTS CROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38%, between January 2016 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 38% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ABBOTTS CROFT of £299,500 on 29th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £299,500 to £413,284 over the eight years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
