OLD MILL 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 OLD MILL COTTAGE sales from February 2002 and April 2010 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 February 2002 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might OLD MILL COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD MILL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £645,940.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.6%, between April 2010 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 85.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD MILL COTTAGE of £348,000 on 1st April 2010. For the value to have increased from £348,000 to £645,940 over the fifteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD MILL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
