10 FORGE 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 four 10 FORGE CLOSE sales between October 1995 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 March 2004 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
