70 COLCHESTER ROAD 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 70 COLCHESTER ROAD sales between July 1997 and September 2021 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 July 2012 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 200% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 200% above the HPI.

What might 70 COLCHESTER ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 8.3%, between September 2021 and February 2025, 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 8.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 COLCHESTER ROAD of £1,390,000 on 2nd September 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,390,000 to £1,505,109 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
