65 CHALLIS LANE 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 two 65 CHALLIS LANE sales from December 2001 and May 2017 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 2001 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 65 CHALLIS LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.9%, between May 2017 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 22.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 65 CHALLIS LANE of £308,500 on 12th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £308,500 to £379,159 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
