VALCOT 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 VALCOT sales from January 2007 and August 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 January 2007 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might VALCOT be worth now?

VALCOT might now be worth an estimated £621,686.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.4%, between August 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 VALCOT of £650,000 on 24th August 2022. For the value to have decreased from £650,000 to £621,686 over the three years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VALCOT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VALCOT has not materially changed since August 2022.
