Old Heath market report CO2 0, Colchester
The standing CO2 0 (Old Heath) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 1,993 sales registered with HM Land Registry in CO2 0 (Colchester) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 16 registered 2026 sales put the CO2 0 (Colchester) median at £425,000, up 12% on five years earlier, with a mean of £492,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,040 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,993 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CO2 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CO2 (Colchester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

The going rate for a home in CO2 0
16 sales were registered in CO2 0 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £425,000. The mean works out at £492,500, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
CO2 0 prices by floor area
A square metre of CO2 0 home has cost about £4,040 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, CO2 0 sits 49% above the national market.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical CO2 0 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 164%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CO2 0 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2015 (+32.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−21.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.3% | +5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 16 sales completed in CO2 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 78 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market CO2 0 is
This is a thin market: 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the CO2 district median, CO2 0 sits 55% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around CO2 0
For renting purposes CO2 0 sits in Colchester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,211 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £829 a month here against £1,819 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Colchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,211 a month is £14,532 a year, which against the £425,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

How much did a house sell for in CO2 0 (Old Heath)?
Are property prices falling in CO2 0 (Old Heath)?
What happens to CO2 0 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 12% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in CO2 now
Turning to what is actually available: 86 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CO2 district, not just CO2 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
32% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: CO prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CO area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
