1 THE MARTINS DRIVE 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 four 1 THE MARTINS DRIVE sales between July 1999 and April 2014 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 2010 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI.
