The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 38 HOWARDS CROFT sales between April 1998 and May 2017 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 January 2014 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

38 HOWARDS CROFT might now be worth an estimated £683,216.
This is based on house price inflation of 20.4%, between May 2017 and May 2026, 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 20.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 HOWARDS CROFT of £567,500 on 18th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £567,500 to £683,216 over the nine years to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
