38 BIRKDALE ROAD 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 two 38 BIRKDALE ROAD sales from November 2010 and November 2013 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 2010 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
