42 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 MERLIN DRIVE sales between June 1998 and October 2015 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 September 2014 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
