1 DARLOW DRIVE 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 two 1 DARLOW DRIVE sales from April 1998 and November 2004 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 1998 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it rises to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.
