15 OWLS RETREAT 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 15 OWLS RETREAT sales from February 1998 and March 2007 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 February 1998 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 15 OWLS RETREAT be worth now?

15 OWLS RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £401,818.

This is based on house price inflation of 71%, between March 2007 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 71% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 OWLS RETREAT of £235,000 on 16th March 2007. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £401,818 over the eighteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
