12 FIRS HAMLET 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 12 FIRS HAMLET sales from June 2009 and October 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 June 2009 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
