Coggeshall market report CO6 2, Colchester
The CO6 2 (Coggeshall) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,547 sales registered with HM Land Registry in CO6 2 (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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 40 registered 2026 sales put the CO6 2 (Colchester) median at £451,200, up 22% on five years earlier, with a mean of £476,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,090 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,547 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CO6 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CO6 (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 CO6 2
The CO6 2 median stands at £451,200 for 2026, built from 40 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £476,000, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
CO6 2 prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in CO6 2 costs about £4,090 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, CO6 2 runs 58% above it.

| 1995 | £66,200 | £143,909 | 84 |
In cash terms the typical CO6 2 home went from £66,200 in 1995 to £451,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 214%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CO6 2 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 2003 (+38.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−12.2%). 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) | +10.0% | +7.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in CO6 2
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
CO6 2 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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 CO6 2
For renting purposes CO6 2 sits in Braintree. The ONS average private rent there is £1,232 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £863 a month here against £2,003 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Braintree
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £451,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,232 a month (£14,784 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.
What kind of market CO6 2 is
This is a thin market: 40 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the CO6 district median, CO6 2 sits 17% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

How much did a house sell for in CO6 2 (Coggeshall)?
Are property prices falling in CO6 2 (Coggeshall)?
Is CO6 2 (Coggeshall) a good place to buy a house?
Will CO6 2 prices rise from here?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 22% over five years in cash but down 4% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

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%) |
| 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. 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.
