42 THOR DRIVE 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 three 42 THOR DRIVE sales between February 2002 and March 2011 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 2011 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the March 2011 sale, which was also at 14% below the HPI.

What might 42 THOR DRIVE be worth now?
