CHALE COTTAGE 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 CHALE COTTAGE sales from November 2020 and October 2024 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 2020 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might CHALE COTTAGE be worth now?

CHALE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £685,653.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.1%, between October 2024 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 3.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHALE COTTAGE of £665,000 on 25th October 2024. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £685,653 over the one year and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHALE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The October 2024 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHALE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2024.
