PLUM LODGE 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 PLUM LODGE sales from February 1996 and August 2017 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 February 1996 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.
