This is the Colchester council-area index - it tracks how prices move across the whole council area, not a valuation of any individual home. UKHPI updates monthly with a ~2-month lag; recent months are revised as further transactions are registered. Data updated August 2026.
This chart shows the mean price of the standard sales (category A, £1,000 or more) HM Land Registry recorded in Colchester in each full calendar year, at the price paid at the time. 2026 so far (to September) is left out because the year is not complete. It is a different measure from the House Price Index above, which covers Colchester.
Average (mean) price of standard sales recorded in Colchester each full calendar year (HM Land Registry transactions).
Average (mean) price of standard sales recorded in Colchester each full calendar year (HM Land Registry transactions).
The average price paid across all 137,843 sales HM Land Registry has recorded in the Colchester post town (which spans several council areas) since 1995 is £216,079. These are prices at the time of each sale, so it reads well below today's values. Use our free valuation tool above for an estimate for your property type and postcode.
How accurate are online property valuations?
Online valuations use recent sold prices, market trends, and property characteristics to produce an estimate. They are a useful starting point but cannot account for condition, renovations, or unique features. For a precise figure, request a free in-person valuation from a local estate agent.
How do I get a free property valuation in Colchester?
Enter your postcode in the form above to get a free instant estimate. We don't have a panel agent covering Colchester yet, so for an in-person valuation you would need to contact a local estate agent directly.
