5 SAULS BRIDGE CLOSE 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 three 5 SAULS BRIDGE CLOSE sales between February 1999 and June 2024 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 December 2012 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 5 SAULS BRIDGE CLOSE be worth now?
