Coggeshall market report CO6 3, Colchester
The CO6 3 (Coggeshall) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 2,950 HM Land Registry entries for CO6 3 (Colchester), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 33 registered 2026 sales put the CO6 3 (Colchester) median at £450,000, up 21% on five years earlier, with a mean of £474,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,040 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,950 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CO6 3 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.

In cash terms the typical CO6 3 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 245%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CO6 3 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 2020 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +16.9% | +14.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 3
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.
CO6 3 recorded 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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 CO6 3 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. Within CO6, this sector trades 17% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around CO6 3
The local authority for CO6 3 is Colchester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,211 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £829 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,819, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Colchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £450,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,211 a month (£14,532 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

These cover the whole CO6 district, not just CO6 3: live asking prices are collected per district.

What another bedroom costs in CO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CO area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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. 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.
