18 DOVE HOUSE 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 18 DOVE HOUSE CLOSE sales from April 1996 and August 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 1996 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
