5 CRESSING ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 CRESSING ROAD sales between June 2000 and July 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 August 2011 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, which was also at 25% below the HPI.

What might 5 CRESSING ROAD be worth now?

5 CRESSING ROAD might now be worth an estimated £251,899.

This is based on house price inflation of 46%, between July 2015 and February 2025, for semi-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 46% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CRESSING ROAD of £172,500 on 10th July 2015. For the value to have increased from £172,500 to £251,899 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CRESSING ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £172,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
