3 WILLIAM CLOSE 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 three 3 WILLIAM CLOSE sales between May 1997 and August 2025 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 2020 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2025 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 3 WILLIAM CLOSE be worth now?

3 WILLIAM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £291,688.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.6%, between August 2025 and April 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 0.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 WILLIAM CLOSE of £290,000 on 29th August 2025. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £291,688 over the one year and four months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 WILLIAM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The August 2025 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
