24 THE GROVE 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 24 THE GROVE sales from January 2005 and July 2006 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 January 2005 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
