DOWN AMPNEY 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 DOWN AMPNEY sales from March 1997 and August 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 March 1997 sale was for 116% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 116% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might DOWN AMPNEY be worth now?

DOWN AMPNEY might now be worth an estimated £864,921.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.8%, between August 2014 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 55.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWN AMPNEY of £555,000 on 28th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £555,000 to £864,921 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOWN AMPNEY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £555,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWN AMPNEY has not materially changed since August 2014.
