1 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE 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 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE sales from May 2007 and July 2011 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 May 2007 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI.
