1 COUNTESS GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 COUNTESS GARDENS sales between April 1995 and December 2019 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 June 1999 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 1 COUNTESS GARDENS be worth now?
