THE BIRCHES 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 THE BIRCHES sales from July 1997 and February 2012 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 1997 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it rises to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might THE BIRCHES be worth now?

THE BIRCHES might now be worth an estimated £1,388,873.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.4%, between February 2012 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 80.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BIRCHES of £770,000 on 6th February 2012. For the value to have increased from £770,000 to £1,388,873 over the thirteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BIRCHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The February 2012 sale price of £770,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BIRCHES has not materially changed since February 2012.
