5 THE SEEDFIELD 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 four 5 THE SEEDFIELD sales between August 1999 and October 2018 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 June 2010 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE SEEDFIELD be worth now?

5 THE SEEDFIELD might now be worth an estimated £512,965.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.3%, between October 2018 and December 2024, 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 15.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE SEEDFIELD of £445,000 on 31st October 2018. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £512,965 over the five years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE SEEDFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
