COTSWOLDS 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 COTSWOLDS sales from September 1997 and November 2013 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 September 1997 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, which was also at 38% below the HPI.

What might COTSWOLDS be worth now?

COTSWOLDS might now be worth an estimated £412,975.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.2%, between November 2013 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 65.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COTSWOLDS of £250,000 on 27th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £412,975 over the twelve years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COTSWOLDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The November 2013 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COTSWOLDS has not materially changed since November 2013.
