14 MERLIN GARDENS 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 14 MERLIN GARDENS sales from February 2007 and December 2018 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 February 2007 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
