POPES 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 two POPES COTTAGE sales from July 2000 and October 2012 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 July 2000 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.
