Lowest sales are often part-transfers, probate transactions, or non-arms-length deals between connected parties. They don't always reflect open-market value.

What sold prices don't tell you about Colchester
- Lease length isn't shown. Leasehold sales appear with the tenure flag, but the remaining term and ground rent are recorded only on the title document.
- Off-market sales never appear. Private deals, repossessions sold below the open market, and most probate transfers are absent from this dataset.
- New-build prices may include incentives. The number recorded is gross. Developer carpet allowances, deposit contributions, and part-exchange aren't deducted.
- There is a reporting lag. Sales from the last two to three months haven't filtered through Land Registry yet.
FAQ
All sales come from HM Land Registry's Price Paid Data, the official record of every freehold and leasehold transaction registered in England and Wales. Data is refreshed monthly. The latest refresh on this page was 1 August 2026.
Sales typically take two to three months to reach the Price Paid dataset, because solicitors register transfers in batches after completion. If a sale completed in the last quarter, it may not yet be visible.
New-build sales are flagged but the listed price may include developer incentives (carpet allowance, deposit contribution, part-exchange). The number recorded reflects the gross price, not the buyer's effective cost.
No. Land Registry records the tenure (freehold or leasehold) but not the remaining lease length. For lease term, ground rent, and service charge information, the official Land Registry title document is the source. Our paid full report includes the title link.
