How Gilberd Road, Colchester prices moved
The chart tracks the median Gilberd Road, Colchester house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £40,750 | £90,484 |
| 2000s | 8 | £98,750 | £179,893 |
| 2010s | 5 | £163,000 | £229,830 |
| 2020s | 1 | £222,000 | £226,826 |
The highest yearly median on record for Gilberd Road, Colchester is £222,000 in 2021; the lowest is £38,500 in 1996. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £38,500 to £222,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £83,515, so the real change over the whole record is +235.8% — about +4.97% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +47.0% in cash against +16.3% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Gilberd Road, Colchester is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 117 | 58.2% | £96,995 | £31,000 – £258,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Gilberd Road, Colchester
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 201 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 201 | 100.0% | £113,000 |
| New build | 1 | 0.5% | £58,000 |
| Existing home | 200 | 99.5% | £113,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -48.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Colchester, 52.4% of 97,371 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Colchester at £1,203 a month as of Jun 2026 — £824 for a one-bedroom home and £1,307 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £113,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.78% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CO2, 188 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 82 violent, 7 burglary, 11 vehicle-related and 22 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 192,715 residents the 2021 census counted in Colchester, that is 0.98 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Gilberd Road, Colchester
The 2021 census counted 192,715 residents in Colchester across 79,711 households. 65.1% of those households own their home and 34.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
15 state and independent schools have a CO2 postcode: 13 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Colchester the street ranks 2631 of 2866 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £178,000 (-36.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,028 per square metre, across 68 of the 201 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Gilberd Road, Colchester sits in Colchester, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Colchester at 8.4 times median local earnings of £38,758 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Gilberd Road, Colchester?
The median price paid in Gilberd Road, Colchester across every sale on the register is £113,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Gilberd Road, Colchester?
201 sales are on record for Gilberd Road, Colchester, the most recent completing on 20 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Gilberd Road, Colchester house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +47.0% between 2010 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +16.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Gilberd Road, Colchester house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £222,000, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Gilberd Road, Colchester?
£2,028 per square metre, from the 68 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
