27 PLAYFIELD CLOSE 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 four 27 PLAYFIELD CLOSE sales between September 2000 and July 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2012 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
