SOUTH VIEW 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 SOUTH VIEW sales from July 2004 and November 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 July 2004 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.
