2 THE BRACKENS 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 2 THE BRACKENS sales from June 1995 and September 2015 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 1995 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
