28 LARKWAY 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 LARKWAY sales between December 2006 and June 2018 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 May 2010 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
