41A PORTLAND 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 41A PORTLAND CLOSE sales from October 1996 and October 2019 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 1996 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
