WESTACRES 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 WESTACRES sales from September 2007 and February 2024 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 September 2007 sale was for 225% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 225% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might WESTACRES be worth now?

WESTACRES might now be worth an estimated £1,129,940.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.7%, between February 2024 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 2.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTACRES of £1,100,000 on 23rd February 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,100,000 to £1,129,940 over the one year to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTACRES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The February 2024 sale price of £1,100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTACRES has not materially changed since February 2024.
