3 DARCY HEIGHTS 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 3 DARCY HEIGHTS sales from October 1995 and February 2008 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 October 1995 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 3 DARCY HEIGHTS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 61.9%, between February 2008 and October 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 61.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 DARCY HEIGHTS of £212,000 on 1st February 2008. For the value to have increased from £212,000 to £343,232 over the sixteen years and four months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
