THE GABLES 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 THE GABLES sales from September 2001 and August 2015 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 September 2001 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
