15 WILLOUGHBY 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 three 15 WILLOUGHBY CLOSE sales between December 2002 and April 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 October 2004 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 15 WILLOUGHBY CLOSE be worth now?
