The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 GROVE AVENUE sales between April 2002 and August 2019 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2010 sale was for 153% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 153% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 117% above the HPI.
