MONKSLEA 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 three MONKSLEA sales between August 1995 and November 2013 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 November 2009 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might MONKSLEA be worth now?

MONKSLEA might now be worth an estimated £799,255.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.5%, between November 2013 and June 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 66.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MONKSLEA of £480,000 on 28th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £799,255 over the twelve years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MONKSLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The November 2013 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MONKSLEA has not materially changed since November 2013.
