FAIRCROFT 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 three FAIRCROFT sales between August 2001 and December 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 August 2009 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might FAIRCROFT be worth now?

FAIRCROFT might now be worth an estimated £312,329.

This is based on house price inflation of 52%, between December 2014 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 52% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FAIRCROFT of £205,500 on 15th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £205,500 to £312,329 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FAIRCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £205,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FAIRCROFT has not materially changed since December 2014.
