MYRTLE COTTAGE 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 MYRTLE COTTAGE sales from February 2007 and November 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 February 2007 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might MYRTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

MYRTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £505,159.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.7%, between November 2014 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 49.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MYRTLE COTTAGE of £337,500 on 28th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £337,500 to £505,159 over the eleven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MYRTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The November 2014 sale price of £337,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MYRTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2014.
