GOSTON MOUNT 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 three GOSTON MOUNT sales between August 2004 and June 2012 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 October 2009 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might GOSTON MOUNT be worth now?

GOSTON MOUNT might now be worth an estimated £811,894.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.4%, between June 2012 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 78.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GOSTON MOUNT of £455,000 on 12th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £455,000 to £811,894 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GOSTON MOUNT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £455,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GOSTON MOUNT has not materially changed since June 2012.
