4 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 two 4 DARLOW DRIVE sales from August 2008 and August 2019 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 2008 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 4 DARLOW DRIVE be worth now?
