2 LOCHY DRIVE 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 five 2 LOCHY DRIVE sales between August 2000 and June 2024 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 January 2011 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, which was also at 31% below the HPI.
