249 HILLGROUNDS ROAD 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 249 HILLGROUNDS ROAD sales between March 1995 and January 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 August 1996 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 249 HILLGROUNDS ROAD be worth now?
