THE 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 two THE RECTORY sales from May 2014 and March 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 May 2014 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might THE RECTORY be worth now?

THE RECTORY might now be worth an estimated £787,771.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.7%, between March 2024 and April 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 3.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE RECTORY of £760,000 on 15th March 2024. For the value to have increased from £760,000 to £787,771 over the one year and eleven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RECTORY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The March 2024 sale price of £760,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RECTORY has not materially changed since March 2024.
