3 THE HOO 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 3 THE HOO sales from February 2003 and May 2006 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 February 2003 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
