1 HAWTHORN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 HAWTHORN CLOSE sales between March 1998 and September 2022 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 2021 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 1 HAWTHORN CLOSE be worth now?
