44 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 three 44 MERLIN DRIVE sales between April 1998 and July 2012 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 May 2004 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
