18 CAVES LANE 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 18 CAVES LANE sales between April 2005 and April 2019 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 March 2014 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
