4 ARNOLD WAY 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 4 ARNOLD WAY sales from January 2020 and November 2024 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 January 2020 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
