6 HOBBS DRIVE 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 three 6 HOBBS DRIVE sales between November 2016 and November 2017 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 January 2017 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 6 HOBBS DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.3%, between November 2017 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 17.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 HOBBS DRIVE of £375,000 on 20th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £439,832 over the six years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
