40 HIGH STREET 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 five 40 HIGH STREET sales between February 2000 and January 2020 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 October 2006 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
