SPARROW HAWK 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 SPARROW HAWK COTTAGE sales from April 2004 and July 2020 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 April 2004 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might SPARROW HAWK COTTAGE be worth now?

SPARROW HAWK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £547,046.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between July 2020 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 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SPARROW HAWK COTTAGE of £470,000 on 16th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £547,046 over the five years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SPARROW HAWK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
