Coggeshall market report CO6 1, Colchester
The standing CO6 1 (Coggeshall) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 5,889 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in CO6 1 (Colchester) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 55 registered 2026 sales put the CO6 1 (Colchester) median at £340,000, down 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £394,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,060 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,889 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CO6 1 is one sector of CO6 (Colchester): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

CO6 1 sold prices: where the market stands
In the CO6 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £340,000, from 55 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £394,600, sitting a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
What a square metre costs in CO6 1
A square metre of CO6 1 home has cost about £4,060 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.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, CO6 1 runs 19% above it.

In cash terms the typical CO6 1 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 163%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CO6 1 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 2000 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.0%). 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) | −15.5% | −17.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
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.
CO6 1 recorded 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 240 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around CO6 1
The local authority for CO6 1 is Colchester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,211 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £340,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,211 a month (£14,532 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.
Reading the CO6 1 market
Only 55 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CO6 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the CO6 district median, CO6 1 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in CO: the cost
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £245,000 | £285,000 (+16%) | £335,000 (+18%) | £420,000 (+25%) | £565,000 (+35%) |
| Terraced | £225,000 | £255,000 (+13%) | £299,995 (+18%) | £381,000 (+27%) | £507,500 (+33%) |
| Flat | £150,000 | £190,000 (+27%) | £287,500 (+51%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
