34 FRANCIS GROVES 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 34 FRANCIS GROVES CLOSE sales between February 1997 and April 2021 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 January 2004 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI.
