8 ORCHARD COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES sales between July 2012 and January 2025 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 2019 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 8 ORCHARD COTTAGES be worth now?
