40 POLHILL AVENUE 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 POLHILL AVENUE sales from October 2014 and October 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2014 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
