10 MERCURY WAY 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 five 10 MERCURY WAY sales between November 2001 and December 2021 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 2013 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
