3 THE RICKYARD 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 3 THE RICKYARD sales between September 2005 and July 2019 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 2014 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
