DUCHESS HOUSE 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 DUCHESS HOUSE sales from November 1995 and February 2009 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 November 1995 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the February 2009 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
