HILL HOUSE 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 HILL HOUSE sales from May 2003 and March 2016 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 May 2003 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might HILL HOUSE be worth now?

HILL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £505,257.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.6%, between March 2016 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 36.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILL HOUSE of £370,000 on 3rd March 2016. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £505,257 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILL HOUSE has not materially changed since March 2016.
