10 THORPE CLOSE 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 10 THORPE CLOSE sales from May 1995 and October 2013 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 1995 sale was for 143% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 143% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
