4A BEDFORD ROAD 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 two 4A BEDFORD ROAD sales from December 1998 and April 2018 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 December 1998 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
