4 BAYHAM 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 4 BAYHAM CLOSE sales between August 2001 and April 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 August 2005 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
