LAINSTON 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 five LAINSTON sales between October 1999 and March 2020 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 March 2016 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might LAINSTON be worth now?

LAINSTON might now be worth an estimated £795,659.

This is based on house price inflation of 17%, between March 2020 and February 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 17% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAINSTON of £680,000 on 3rd March 2020. For the value to have increased from £680,000 to £795,659 over the five years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAINSTON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £680,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAINSTON has not materially changed since March 2020.
