42 BIRCH STREET 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 five 42 BIRCH STREET sales between June 1997 and November 2019 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 July 2007 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
