CO5 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CO5 (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.

In cash terms the typical CO5 0 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 195%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CO5 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 2016 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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, 68 sales completed in CO5 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 256 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 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 tenants pay around CO5 0
For renting purposes CO5 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.
Against the £365,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,211 a month (£14,532 a year) works out at a 4.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Common questions on CO5 0 (Tiptree)
Is CO5 0 (Tiptree) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CO5 0 (Tiptree)?
Are property prices falling in CO5 0 (Tiptree)?
Are CO5 0 prices heading up or down?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What you could buy in CO5 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 57 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CO5 district, not just CO5 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
16% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Bittern Close, Kelvedon, Colchester, Essex
- Birch Street, Birch
- London Road, Kelvedon, Colchester, Essex
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.

What another bedroom costs in CO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CO area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |
