253 LONDON 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 253 LONDON ROAD sales between November 2018 and February 2024 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 December 2018 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
