GREYS 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 GREYS COTTAGE sales from August 2006 and September 2020 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 August 2006 sale was for 77% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 77% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might GREYS COTTAGE be worth now?

GREYS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,273,315.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.7%, between September 2020 and March 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 13.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GREYS COTTAGE of £1,120,000 on 30th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £1,120,000 to £1,273,315 over the five years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GREYS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £1,120,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GREYS COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2020.
