2 MERRILS FIELD 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 MERRILS FIELD sales from July 2007 and July 2014 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 July 2007 sale was for 166% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 166% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 123% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 123% above the HPI.
