THE WATCH 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 THE WATCH HOUSE sales between October 2000 and October 2021 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 2017 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might THE WATCH HOUSE be worth now?

THE WATCH HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £874,614.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.8%, between October 2021 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 6.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE WATCH HOUSE of £819,000 on 15th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £819,000 to £874,614 over the four years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE WATCH HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £819,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE WATCH HOUSE has not materially changed since October 2021.
