5 COMET 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 five 5 COMET DRIVE sales between October 1999 and March 2016 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 2013 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI.
