19 VALENS CLOSE 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 four 19 VALENS CLOSE sales between February 2002 and September 2021 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 February 2013 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI.
