21 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE 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 21 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE sales between June 2000 and January 2011 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 August 2007 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
