ORCHARD 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 ORCHARD HOUSE sales from February 2016 and October 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 February 2016 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it rises to 157% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 157% above the HPI.
