ROSE 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 six ROSE COTTAGE sales between December 1995 and August 2019 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 2013 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £318,526.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.8%, between August 2019 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 13.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £280,000 on 21st August 2019. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £318,526 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2019.
