4 LONGACRE 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 LONGACRE sales from May 2013 and November 2018 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 May 2013 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might 4 LONGACRE be worth now?
