BLITHE HOUSE 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 BLITHE HOUSE sales from October 2016 and October 2022 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 October 2016 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might BLITHE HOUSE be worth now?

BLITHE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,063,065.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.2%, between October 2022 and February 2025, 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 4.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BLITHE HOUSE of £1,110,000 on 13th October 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,110,000 to £1,063,065 over the three years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
