8 SANDFORD 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 three 8 SANDFORD CLOSE sales between July 2014 and June 2019 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2016 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI.
