256 OLD HEATH ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 256 OLD HEATH ROAD sales from March 2013 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 March 2013 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 256 OLD HEATH ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 14.5%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for semi-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 14.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 256 OLD HEATH ROAD of £202,000 on 29th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £202,000 to £231,299 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
