78 SANDFORD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 78 SANDFORD ROAD sales from July 2004 and March 2005 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 July 2004 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 78 SANDFORD ROAD be worth now?

The 108.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 SANDFORD ROAD of £238,500 on 4th March 2005. For the value to have increased from £238,500 to £497,919 over the twenty years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
