34 ORCHARD 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 two 34 ORCHARD DRIVE sales from June 2003 and August 2023 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 June 2003 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
