16 LAVENDER 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 two 16 LAVENDER CLOSE sales from September 2006 and June 2014 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 September 2006 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 16 LAVENDER CLOSE be worth now?
