8 ROSEBAY 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 five 8 ROSEBAY CLOSE sales between March 1996 and December 2009 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 March 2006 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 8 ROSEBAY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 92.5%, between December 2009 and February 2025, 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 92.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ROSEBAY CLOSE of £154,000 on 21st December 2009. For the value to have increased from £154,000 to £296,382 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
