4 MERRILS FIELD 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 MERRILS FIELD sales from January 2008 and April 2014 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 2008 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.

What might 4 MERRILS FIELD be worth now?
