4 FIRS ROAD 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 FIRS ROAD sales from February 2007 and April 2013 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 February 2007 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 4 FIRS ROAD be worth now?

4 FIRS ROAD might now be worth an estimated £420,442.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.4%, between April 2013 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 73.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 FIRS ROAD of £242,500 on 26th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £242,500 to £420,442 over the twelve years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
