ROTHESAY 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 ROTHESAY sales from January 2002 and April 2006 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 January 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might ROTHESAY be worth now?

ROTHESAY might now be worth an estimated £1,070,022.

This is based on house price inflation of 94.5%, between April 2006 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 94.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROTHESAY of £550,000 on 28th April 2006. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £1,070,022 over the nineteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROTHESAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The April 2006 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROTHESAY has not materially changed since April 2006.
