ASH GROVE 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 two ASH GROVE sales from November 1996 and December 2017 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 1996 sale was for 138% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 138% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.

What might ASH GROVE be worth now?

ASH GROVE might now be worth an estimated £946,269.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between December 2017 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 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ASH GROVE of £805,000 on 8th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £805,000 to £946,269 over the seven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ASH GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £805,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ASH GROVE has not materially changed since December 2017.
