34 LICHFIELD 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 LICHFIELD CLOSE sales between May 1998 and July 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 May 2009 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI.
