4 FERNIE ROAD 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 4 FERNIE ROAD sales between December 1996 and April 2023 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 March 2022 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 4 FERNIE ROAD be worth now?

4 FERNIE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £509,711.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between April 2023 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 0.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 FERNIE ROAD of £505,000 on 5th April 2023. For the value to have increased from £505,000 to £509,711 over the four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
