4 BENBOW 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 two 4 BENBOW DRIVE sales from August 2001 and August 2024 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 August 2001 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 4 BENBOW DRIVE be worth now?
