18 MERLIN DRIVE 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 four 18 MERLIN DRIVE sales between September 1999 and October 2018 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 2007 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
