257 KIMBOLTON 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 257 KIMBOLTON ROAD sales between January 1996 and May 2014 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 November 1996 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.
