The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OLD SHIP COTTAGE sales between August 1998 and July 2006 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2003 sale was for 157% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 157% above the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it falls to 115% above the HPI.
