4 DUNSTER GARDENS 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 DUNSTER GARDENS sales from July 2002 and October 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 July 2002 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
