4 LINFOLD 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 three 4 LINFOLD CLOSE sales between December 1995 and March 2004 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 1998 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 4 LINFOLD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 112.8%, between March 2004 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 112.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LINFOLD CLOSE of £310,000 on 17th March 2004. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £659,776 over the nineteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
