The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Colchester local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two COSY sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).

2012 8 JUN	£405,000	£285,166	42% above HPI

COSY 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 COSY sales from July 1999 and June 2012 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 July 1999 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might COSY be worth now?

COSY might now be worth an estimated £713,297.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.1%, between June 2012 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 76.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for COSY of £405,000 on 8th June 2012. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £713,297 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of COSY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of COSY has not materially changed since June 2012.
