BIRDS NEST 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 BIRDS NEST sales from April 1999 and August 2017 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 1999 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, which was also at 31% below the HPI.
