38 DARLOW DRIVE 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 38 DARLOW DRIVE sales between November 1996 and August 2006 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 2003 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.
