18 FROME 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 three 18 FROME CLOSE sales between March 1998 and June 2012 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 July 2000 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.
