20 FRANKLYN GARDENS 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 20 FRANKLYN GARDENS sales from September 1995 and June 1999 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 1995 sale was for 77% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 77% above the HPI over time, until the June 1999 sale, where it falls to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.
