42 GILBERT 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 42 GILBERT CLOSE sales from March 2005 and September 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 March 2005 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
