36 PORTLAND 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 36 PORTLAND CLOSE sales between March 2015 and October 2018 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 2015 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
