MEADOWSIDE 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 MEADOWSIDE sales from June 2002 and November 2015 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 June 2002 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might MEADOWSIDE be worth now?

MEADOWSIDE might now be worth an estimated £524,000.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.2%, between November 2015 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 35.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MEADOWSIDE of £387,500 on 2nd November 2015. For the value to have increased from £387,500 to £524,000 over the ten years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MEADOWSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £387,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MEADOWSIDE has not materially changed since November 2015.
