6 MERTON PLACE 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 three 6 MERTON PLACE sales between June 2002 and July 2019 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 November 2003 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 6 MERTON PLACE be worth now?
