Land registry data shows two sales for SPARROWS since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Braintree local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two SPARROWS sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SPARROWS sales from April 1998 and June 2005 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 April 1998 sale was for 117% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 117% above the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.
