42 BROAD 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 42 BROAD ROAD sales between December 1999 and October 2008 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 2007 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 42 BROAD ROAD be worth now?

42 BROAD ROAD might now be worth an estimated £560,683.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.6%, between October 2008 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 78.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 BROAD ROAD of £314,000 on 31st October 2008. For the value to have increased from £314,000 to £560,683 over the fifteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 BROAD ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The October 2008 sale price of £314,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 42 BROAD ROAD has not materially changed since October 2008.
