WHITE THORNS 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 WHITE THORNS sales from December 2010 and April 2016 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 December 2010 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might WHITE THORNS be worth now?

WHITE THORNS might now be worth an estimated £488,058.

This is based on house price inflation of 35%, between April 2016 and December 2024, 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 35% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE THORNS of £361,500 on 7th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £361,500 to £488,058 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE THORNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £361,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE THORNS has not materially changed since April 2016.
