15 LOVENT 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 15 LOVENT DRIVE sales from January 2002 and November 2011 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 January 2002 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
