3 THE GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 THE GROVE sales between July 1997 and January 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 April 2023 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 3 THE GROVE be worth now?

3 THE GROVE might now be worth an estimated £428,166.

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between January 2024 and June 2025, for terraced 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 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE GROVE of £400,000 on 22nd January 2024. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £428,166 over the seven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Chelmsford local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 THE GROVE has not materially changed since January 2024.
