13 BEACH 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 13 BEACH ROAD sales from November 2001 and November 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 November 2001 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 13 BEACH ROAD be worth now?

13 BEACH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £501,298.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.9%, between November 2006 and December 2024, 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 75.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 BEACH ROAD of £285,000 on 30th November 2006. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £501,298 over the seventeen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 BEACH ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The November 2006 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 13 BEACH ROAD has not materially changed since November 2006.
