THE LILACS 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 three THE LILACS sales between April 2001 and April 2024 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 March 2015 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.
