16 SMITHERS DRIVE 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 16 SMITHERS DRIVE sales between August 1997 and December 2020 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 June 2002 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
