The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 FIR TREE CLOSE sales between May 1998 and July 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2013 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI.
