STABLES 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 STABLES COTTAGE sales from July 1995 and February 2002 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 July 1995 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the February 2002 sale, where it rises to 141% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 141% above the HPI.

What might STABLES COTTAGE be worth now?

STABLES COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,391,489.

This is based on house price inflation of 189.9%, between February 2002 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 189.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STABLES COTTAGE of £480,000 on 27th February 2002. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £1,391,489 over the 23 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STABLES COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The February 2002 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STABLES COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2002.
