21 RATCLIFFE GATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 21 RATCLIFFE GATE sales from November 2013 and September 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 November 2013 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 21 RATCLIFFE GATE be worth now?

21 RATCLIFFE GATE might now be worth an estimated £460,482.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between September 2020 and December 2024, for semi-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 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 RATCLIFFE GATE of £400,000 on 10th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £460,482 over the three years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
