Land registry data shows two sales for 1 FIVE ACRES since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Chelmsford local authority area for the corresponding sale date. One of the two 1 FIVE ACRES sales was for above the average price, whilst the other was for below the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 FIVE ACRES sales from December 2006 and December 2009 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 December 2006 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
1 FIVE ACRES might now be worth an estimated £680,327.
This is based on house price inflation of 87.4%, between December 2009 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Chelmsford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 87.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FIVE ACRES of £363,000 on 3rd December 2009. For the value to have increased from £363,000 to £680,327 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
