7 GUINEA CLOSE 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 five 7 GUINEA CLOSE sales between May 1997 and January 2025 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 March 2007 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
