BENWELL 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 BENWELL sales between April 1998 and December 2009 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 February 2001 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might BENWELL be worth now?

BENWELL might now be worth an estimated £457,390.

This is based on house price inflation of 84.8%, between December 2009 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 84.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BENWELL of £247,500 on 21st December 2009. For the value to have increased from £247,500 to £457,390 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BENWELL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £247,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BENWELL has not materially changed since December 2009.
