85 EAST ROAD 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 five 85 EAST ROAD sales between March 1996 and July 2023 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 2021 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 85 EAST ROAD be worth now?

85 EAST ROAD might now be worth an estimated £453,279.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.3%, between July 2023 and February 2025, for semi-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 1.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 EAST ROAD of £447,500 on 3rd July 2023. For the value to have increased from £447,500 to £453,279 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 85 EAST ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £447,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
