LAUREL HOUSE 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 LAUREL HOUSE sales between May 1999 and July 2007 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 May 2000 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might LAUREL HOUSE be worth now?

LAUREL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £568,729.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.8%, between July 2007 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 64.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL HOUSE of £345,000 on 9th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £345,000 to £568,729 over the eighteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The July 2007 sale price of £345,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL HOUSE has not materially changed since July 2007.
