The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 69 BOWER HALL DRIVE sales from July 1996 and October 1997 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 July 1996 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the October 1997 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
69 BOWER HALL DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £418,556.
