THE OLD RECTORY 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 THE OLD RECTORY sales between December 1997 and April 2021 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 April 2019 sale was for 165% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 165% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 197% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 197% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD RECTORY be worth now?

THE OLD RECTORY might now be worth an estimated £1,510,836.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.2%, between April 2021 and August 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 16.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD RECTORY of £1,300,000 on 1st April 2021. For the value to have increased from £1,300,000 to £1,510,836 over the three years and eight months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD RECTORY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £1,300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD RECTORY has not materially changed since April 2021.
