42 BEGONIA CLOSE 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 five 42 BEGONIA CLOSE sales between January 1995 and May 2006 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 September 2004 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 42 BEGONIA CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 102.3%, between May 2006 and July 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 102.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 BEGONIA CLOSE of £188,750 on 11th May 2006. For the value to have increased from £188,750 to £381,778 over the eighteen years and ten months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
