8 THE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 THE LANE sales from July 1997 and September 2015 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 July 1997 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
