HILLCROFT 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 HILLCROFT sales between December 1999 and February 2024 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 October 2013 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
