31 DARLOW DRIVE 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 31 DARLOW DRIVE sales from August 1998 and November 2020 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 1998 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 64% above the HPI.
