20 DOWNSWAY 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 four 20 DOWNSWAY sales between June 2000 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 July 2014 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 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 20 DOWNSWAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.8%, between December 2020 and June 2025, 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 16.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 DOWNSWAY of £380,000 on 4th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £443,724 over the five years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 DOWNSWAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
