12 ELGER 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 12 ELGER CLOSE sales from April 2003 and July 2010 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 April 2003 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
