14 HOWARD 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 five 14 HOWARD CLOSE sales between February 1996 and January 2015 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 2006 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
