50 HIGH STREET 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 four 50 HIGH STREET sales between July 1998 and May 2024 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 2011 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 50 HIGH STREET be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.6%, between May 2024 and December 2024, 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 4.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 50 HIGH STREET of £334,000 on 21st May 2024. For the value to have increased from £334,000 to £349,310 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
