2 BAYHAM 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 two 2 BAYHAM CLOSE sales from December 2000 and July 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 December 2000 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
