9 THE JAYS 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 two 9 THE JAYS sales from August 2000 and April 2001 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 August 2000 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the April 2001 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might 9 THE JAYS be worth now?

The 226.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 THE JAYS of £230,000 on 27th April 2001. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £751,683 over the 22 years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
