29 MERLIN DRIVE 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 29 MERLIN DRIVE sales between December 1997 and September 2013 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 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
