53 ROUSE WAY 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 53 ROUSE WAY sales between June 2005 and May 2019 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 2009 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 53 ROUSE WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18%, between May 2019 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 18% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 ROUSE WAY of £400,000 on 24th May 2019. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £472,079 over the four years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
