28 FRANCIS GROVES CLOSE 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 two 28 FRANCIS GROVES CLOSE sales from November 2005 and October 2015 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 2005 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
