THE BRIARS 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 BRIARS sales from September 2005 and February 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 September 2005 sale was for 165% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 165% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
