13 TOWNSEND 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 four 13 TOWNSEND CLOSE sales between March 1995 and August 2016 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 November 2001 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 13 TOWNSEND CLOSE be worth now?
