18 LOVELACE MEADOW 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 18 LOVELACE MEADOW sales from April 2020 and August 2024 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 April 2020 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
