3 LUCAS COURT 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 five 3 LUCAS COURT sales between May 1997 and January 2014 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 September 2004 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
