4 LONGCROFT 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 4 LONGCROFT ROAD sales from January 2006 and April 2014 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 January 2006 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 4 LONGCROFT ROAD be worth now?

4 LONGCROFT ROAD might now be worth an estimated £287,958.

This is based on house price inflation of 65%, between April 2014 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 65% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LONGCROFT ROAD of £174,500 on 30th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £174,500 to £287,958 over the eleven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 LONGCROFT ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
