3 BEACH ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 BEACH ROAD sales from September 2003 and October 2018 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 2003 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 3 BEACH ROAD be worth now?

3 BEACH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £347,302.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.7%, between October 2018 and March 2026, for semi-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 17.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BEACH ROAD of £295,000 on 26th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £347,302 over the eight years and seven months to March 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 BEACH ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The October 2018 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
