26 THE MARTINS DRIVE 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 three 26 THE MARTINS DRIVE sales between October 2002 and July 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 2003 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
