23 DRAKES AVENUE 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 two 23 DRAKES AVENUE sales from June 2010 and September 2016 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 June 2010 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
