4 LIFCHILD CLOSE 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 three 4 LIFCHILD CLOSE sales between August 2002 and August 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 September 2006 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
