51 ORCHARD DRIVE 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 51 ORCHARD DRIVE sales between August 2002 and October 2013 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 May 2008 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 51 ORCHARD DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 69.9%, between October 2013 and July 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 69.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 ORCHARD DRIVE of £190,000 on 24th October 2013. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £322,738 over the twelve years and three months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
