HILLSIDE COTTAGE 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 HILLSIDE COTTAGE sales between April 1999 and October 2013 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 2003 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.
