5 TOWNSEND 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 5 TOWNSEND sales from December 2002 and November 2009 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 2002 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 5 TOWNSEND be worth now?

5 TOWNSEND might now be worth an estimated £639,363.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.1%, between November 2009 and February 2025, for 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 86.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 TOWNSEND of £343,500 on 27th November 2009. For the value to have increased from £343,500 to £639,363 over the sixteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 TOWNSEND has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The November 2009 sale price of £343,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 TOWNSEND has not materially changed since November 2009.
