ROYSTON HOUSE 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 three ROYSTON HOUSE sales between April 1996 and October 2007 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 2002 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might ROYSTON HOUSE be worth now?

ROYSTON HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £476,017.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.1%, between October 2007 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 64.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROYSTON HOUSE of £290,000 on 15th October 2007. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £476,017 over the eighteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROYSTON HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The October 2007 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROYSTON HOUSE has not materially changed since October 2007.
