12 SOMERTON 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 SOMERTON CLOSE sales from May 2006 and August 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 May 2006 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI.
