12 LONGCROFT ROAD 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 LONGCROFT ROAD sales from May 2000 and March 2023 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 May 2000 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 12 LONGCROFT ROAD be worth now?
