TOUCHWOOD 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 TOUCHWOOD sales from February 1997 and November 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 February 1997 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might TOUCHWOOD be worth now?

TOUCHWOOD might now be worth an estimated £1,195,367.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.4%, between November 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 4.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for TOUCHWOOD of £1,250,000 on 17th November 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,250,000 to £1,195,367 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TOUCHWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £1,250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TOUCHWOOD has not materially changed since November 2022.
