5 BARING GOULD COTTAGES 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 5 BARING GOULD COTTAGES sales from August 2006 and November 2008 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 August 2006 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.1%, between November 2008 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 106.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BARING GOULD COTTAGES of £187,500 on 28th November 2008. For the value to have increased from £187,500 to £386,452 over the seventeen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
