20 LEVEN CLOSE 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 20 LEVEN CLOSE sales between December 1996 and August 2015 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 2010 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
