15 BIRDS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 BIRDS CLOSE sales between June 1995 and April 2011 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 2001 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 15 BIRDS CLOSE be worth now?

15 BIRDS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £651,657.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.6%, between April 2011 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 72.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 BIRDS CLOSE of £377,500 on 13th April 2011. For the value to have increased from £377,500 to £651,657 over the twelve years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 BIRDS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The April 2011 sale price of £377,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
