4 BEACH 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 five 4 BEACH ROAD sales between July 1996 and May 2022 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 November 2016 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 4 BEACH ROAD be worth now?

4 BEACH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £499,913.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.1%, between May 2022 and March 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 4.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BEACH ROAD of £480,000 on 27th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £480,000 to £499,913 over the three years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 BEACH ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The May 2022 sale price of £480,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 BEACH ROAD has not materially changed since May 2022.
