26 THE CROSS 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 four 26 THE CROSS sales between November 1995 and June 2021 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 2005 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 26 THE CROSS be worth now?

26 THE CROSS might now be worth an estimated £169,730.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between June 2021 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 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 THE CROSS of £147,500 on 24th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £147,500 to £169,730 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 THE CROSS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £147,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 26 THE CROSS has not materially changed since June 2021.
