THE BRIARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brentwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BRIARS sales from July 1996 and September 2017 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 1996 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might THE BRIARS be worth now?

THE BRIARS might now be worth an estimated £1,280,189.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.3%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Brentwood local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BRIARS of £1,140,000 on 27th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,140,000 to £1,280,189 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BRIARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brentwood local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £1,140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BRIARS has not materially changed since September 2017.
