5 SOWERBERRY 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 four 5 SOWERBERRY CLOSE sales between August 2007 and July 2014 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 September 2012 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 5 SOWERBERRY CLOSE be worth now?

The 52.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SOWERBERRY CLOSE of £310,000 on 18th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £472,738 over the nine years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
