4 ORCHARD CLOSE 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 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from December 2021 and February 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 December 2021 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.
