40 COURT LANE 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 40 COURT LANE sales from April 1998 and November 2003 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 April 1998 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 40 COURT LANE be worth now?
