20 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 three 20 OWLS RETREAT sales between July 2000 and July 2018 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 2014 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 20 OWLS RETREAT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.1%, between July 2018 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 17.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 OWLS RETREAT of £366,500 on 27th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £366,500 to £429,278 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
