20 COMET 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 20 COMET DRIVE sales between February 2000 and March 2003 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 September 2002 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the March 2003 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
