278 BIDEFORD GREEN 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 278 BIDEFORD GREEN sales between November 1996 and February 2020 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 August 2001 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
