11 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 four 11 THORPE CLOSE sales between December 1996 and October 2018 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 September 2006 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.
