268 GRASMERE WAY 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 268 GRASMERE WAY sales between April 1998 and December 2017 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 March 2006 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
