8 AKENFIELD CLOSE 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 8 AKENFIELD CLOSE sales from December 2002 and January 2024 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 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
