7 MURRAY 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 two 7 MURRAY CLOSE sales from February 2013 and November 2024 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 February 2013 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
