4 BARROW MEWS 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 two 4 BARROW MEWS sales from July 2006 and March 2009 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 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the March 2009 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 4 BARROW MEWS be worth now?

4 BARROW MEWS might now be worth an estimated £632,486.

This is based on house price inflation of 110.8%, between March 2009 and February 2025, 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 110.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BARROW MEWS of £300,000 on 6th March 2009. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £632,486 over the sixteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 BARROW MEWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The March 2009 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
