The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 517 IPSWICH ROAD sales between August 1997 and October 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 September 1999 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it rises to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.
517 IPSWICH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £656,823.
This is based on house price inflation of 93.2%, between October 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 93.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 517 IPSWICH ROAD of £340,000 on 22nd October 2008. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £656,823 over the seventeen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
