55 SCHOOL ROAD 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 55 SCHOOL ROAD sales between July 1995 and October 2022 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 January 2014 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.
