13 CASTLE CLOSE 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 three 13 CASTLE CLOSE sales between August 2007 and September 2020 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 July 2014 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 13 CASTLE CLOSE be worth now?
