MYRTLE 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 MYRTLE COTTAGE sales from March 2012 and February 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 March 2012 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might MYRTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

MYRTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £384,439.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between February 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 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MYRTLE COTTAGE of £362,500 on 6th February 2024. For the value to have increased from £362,500 to £384,439 over the one year to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MYRTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £362,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MYRTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2024.
