The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 305 STRAIGHT ROAD sales between June 2004 and January 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2014 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, which was also at 3% below the HPI.
