16 ATHERSTONE 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 two 16 ATHERSTONE CLOSE sales from December 2013 and April 2022 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 December 2013 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 16 ATHERSTONE CLOSE be worth now?
