BLIND POND COTTAGE 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 BLIND POND COTTAGE sales between August 2009 and February 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 July 2018 sale was for 111% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 111% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.
