The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 51 RECTORY ROAD sales between May 2005 and August 2015 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 September 2012 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
51 RECTORY ROAD might now be worth an estimated £413,085.
This is based on house price inflation of 44.9%, between August 2015 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 44.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 RECTORY ROAD of £285,000 on 14th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £413,085 over the ten years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
