4 BOTANY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 BOTANY DRIVE sales from July 2001 and November 2011 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 2001 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 4 BOTANY DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 77.8%, between November 2011 and May 2026, for semi-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 77.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BOTANY DRIVE of £165,000 on 3rd November 2011. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £293,387 over the fifteen years and six months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
