28 EVANS CROFT 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 28 EVANS CROFT sales between March 2016 and September 2024 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 December 2019 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 50% below the HPI.
