1 DORSEY 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 four 1 DORSEY DRIVE sales between March 1999 and September 2013 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 July 2005 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
