70 HOWARDS CROFT 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 four 70 HOWARDS CROFT sales between January 1999 and October 2023 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 December 2015 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, which was also at 19% above the HPI.

What might 70 HOWARDS CROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1%, between October 2023 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 1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 70 HOWARDS CROFT of £590,000 on 23rd October 2023. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £595,908 over the two years to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 70 HOWARDS CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
