MORVEN 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 MORVEN sales from July 2004 and December 2024 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 July 2004 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might MORVEN be worth now?

MORVEN might now be worth an estimated £573,804.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.2%, between December 2024 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 0.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for MORVEN of £575,000 on 12th December 2024. For the value to have decreased from £575,000 to £573,804 over the two years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MORVEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MORVEN has not materially changed since December 2024.
