19 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 three 19 MERLIN DRIVE sales between July 1997 and November 2023 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 August 2002 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
