262 MERSEA ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 262 MERSEA ROAD sales between February 1997 and September 2025 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 2007 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2025 sale, which was also at 15% below the HPI.
