8 VALLEY ROAD 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 8 VALLEY ROAD sales between October 2000 and May 2021 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 2016 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 8 VALLEY ROAD be worth now?
