WEST END 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 four WEST END COTTAGE sales between September 1997 and January 2018 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 August 2008 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might WEST END COTTAGE be worth now?

WEST END COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £528,868.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between January 2018 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 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST END COTTAGE of £450,000 on 22nd January 2018. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £528,868 over the six years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST END COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST END COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2018.
