4 JAY CLOSE 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 JAY CLOSE sales from November 1999 and May 2015 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 1999 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 4 JAY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.9%, between May 2015 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 48.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 JAY CLOSE of £355,000 on 29th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £528,491 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
