15 WHITTAKER WAY 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 three 15 WHITTAKER WAY sales between June 1996 and October 2020 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 April 1997 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 15 WHITTAKER WAY be worth now?

The 12.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 WHITTAKER WAY of £400,000 on 1st October 2020. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £451,049 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
