31 PURBECK CLOSE 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 three 31 PURBECK CLOSE sales between July 1998 and December 2012 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 2007 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
