4 RIVERSIDE 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 two 4 RIVERSIDE CLOSE sales from August 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 August 2008 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI.
