2 LAVENHAM DRIVE 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 three 2 LAVENHAM DRIVE sales between January 1998 and February 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 October 2018 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
