33 MELFORT DRIVE 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 33 MELFORT DRIVE sales between July 2001 and March 2010 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 November 2003 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2010 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
