81 TORTOISESHELL WAY 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 seven 81 TORTOISESHELL WAY sales between August 1996 and June 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 November 2018 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 81 TORTOISESHELL WAY be worth now?
