19 RIBSTON 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 four 19 RIBSTON CLOSE sales between December 2009 and January 2021 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 November 2015 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
