18 ELM GROVE 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 six 18 ELM GROVE sales between April 1995 and August 2011 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 July 2006 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 18 ELM GROVE be worth now?

18 ELM GROVE might now be worth an estimated £690,645.

This is based on house price inflation of 77.5%, between August 2011 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 77.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 ELM GROVE of £389,000 on 26th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £389,000 to £690,645 over the twelve years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 ELM GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £389,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 ELM GROVE has not materially changed since August 2011.
