5 FRANKLYN GARDENS 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 5 FRANKLYN GARDENS sales between February 1997 and September 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 June 1999 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
