The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 14 RAINBOW ROAD sales between April 2004 and March 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2020 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI.
