8 BLACKHEATH 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 8 BLACKHEATH sales between August 2003 and August 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 December 2009 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 8 BLACKHEATH be worth now?

8 BLACKHEATH might now be worth an estimated £395,384.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.8%, between August 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 9.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BLACKHEATH of £360,000 on 2nd August 2021. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £395,384 over the four years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 BLACKHEATH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 BLACKHEATH has not materially changed since August 2021.
