SPARROW HAWK 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 SPARROW HAWK COTTAGE sales from April 2004 and July 2020 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 April 2004 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
