120 FOREST ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 120 FOREST ROAD sales from September 2014 and March 2016 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 2014 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 120 FOREST ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 34%, between March 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Colchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 120 FOREST ROAD of £229,995 on 11th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £229,995 to £308,180 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
