The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 FIRS HAMLET sales from March 1999 and September 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the March 1999 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI.
