1 THE ORCHARD 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 ORCHARD sales between April 2006 and June 2015 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 October 2008 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
