55 HOLLYMEAD CLOSE 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 55 HOLLYMEAD CLOSE sales from May 1996 and February 1998 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 May 1996 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the February 1998 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 55 HOLLYMEAD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 380.2%, between February 1998 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 380.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 HOLLYMEAD CLOSE of £78,000 on 27th February 1998. For the value to have increased from £78,000 to £374,551 over the 26 years and four months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
