78 SCHOOL LANE 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 78 SCHOOL LANE sales from May 2004 and July 2020 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 May 2004 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 78 SCHOOL LANE be worth now?

78 SCHOOL LANE might now be worth an estimated £610,766.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.2%, between July 2020 and December 2024, 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 13.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 SCHOOL LANE of £539,500 on 16th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £539,500 to £610,766 over the three years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
