BOWS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BOWS COTTAGE sales between January 1995 and July 2014 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 2006 sale was for 131% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 131% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 162% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 162% above the HPI.

What might BOWS COTTAGE be worth now?

BOWS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £881,219.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.6%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 54.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWS COTTAGE of £570,000 on 11th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £881,219 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWS COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2014.
