1A ROCK CLOSE 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 1A ROCK CLOSE sales between February 1996 and April 2010 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 March 2001 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
