ANCHOR COTTAGE 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 four ANCHOR COTTAGE sales between March 2010 and August 2024 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 November 2017 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 81% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% above the HPI.

What might ANCHOR COTTAGE be worth now?

ANCHOR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £599,452.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between August 2024 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 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ANCHOR COTTAGE of £587,500 on 23rd August 2024. For the value to have increased from £587,500 to £599,452 over the one year and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ANCHOR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £587,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ANCHOR COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2024.
