26 BACK ROAD 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 six 26 BACK ROAD sales between November 1997 and April 2023 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 May 2022 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 26 BACK ROAD be worth now?

26 BACK ROAD might now be worth an estimated £419,527.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.1%, between April 2023 and February 2025, 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 0.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 BACK ROAD of £420,000 on 13th April 2023. For the value to have decreased from £420,000 to £419,527 over the two years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 BACK ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The April 2023 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
