COLONY HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COLONY HOUSE sales from April 2008 and May 2014 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 April 2008 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 63% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% above the HPI.

What might COLONY HOUSE be worth now?

COLONY HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,831,111.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.5%, between May 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Three Rivers local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COLONY HOUSE of £1,250,000 on 14th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £1,250,000 to £1,831,111 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COLONY HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Three Rivers local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £1,250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COLONY HOUSE has not materially changed since May 2014.
