1A WESTWOOD 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 seven 1A WESTWOOD CLOSE sales between February 1995 and September 2017 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 October 2013 sale was for 64% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 59% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% below the HPI.
