VALLEY HOUSE 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 four VALLEY HOUSE sales between November 2005 and July 2022 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 2016 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might VALLEY HOUSE be worth now?

VALLEY HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £609,688.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.8%, between July 2022 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 3.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VALLEY HOUSE of £587,500 on 26th July 2022. For the value to have increased from £587,500 to £609,688 over the three years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VALLEY HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.

• The size, condition, and specification of VALLEY HOUSE has not materially changed since July 2022.
