14 GAINSBOROUGH DRIVE 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 two 14 GAINSBOROUGH DRIVE sales from September 1998 and August 2017 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 1998 sale was for 72% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 65% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% below the HPI.
