7 LINFOLD CLOSE 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 three 7 LINFOLD CLOSE sales between May 1996 and April 2016 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 2005 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might 7 LINFOLD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 35.4%, between April 2016 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 35.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 LINFOLD CLOSE of £675,000 on 29th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £675,000 to £914,233 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
