38 CUMBRIA CLOSE 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 five 38 CUMBRIA CLOSE sales between July 1995 and February 2016 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 February 2009 sale was for 55% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 58% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% below the HPI.
