17 MELROSE 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 three 17 MELROSE ROAD sales between November 2011 and August 2020 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 August 2016 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
