THE HIDEAWAY 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 THE HIDEAWAY sales from January 2015 and December 2016 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 2015 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might THE HIDEAWAY be worth now?

THE HIDEAWAY might now be worth an estimated £681,559.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.1%, between December 2016 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 25.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE HIDEAWAY of £545,000 on 22nd December 2016. For the value to have increased from £545,000 to £681,559 over the nine years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE HIDEAWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £545,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE HIDEAWAY has not materially changed since December 2016.
