16 BIRKDALE ROAD 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 three 16 BIRKDALE ROAD sales between July 2001 and March 2017 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 2010 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
