POPES COTTAGE 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 POPES COTTAGE sales from July 2000 and October 2012 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 2000 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might POPES COTTAGE be worth now?

POPES COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £729,705.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.7%, between October 2012 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 73.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POPES COTTAGE of £420,000 on 1st October 2012. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £729,705 over the thirteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POPES COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POPES COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2012.
