5 GOLD LANE 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 two 5 GOLD LANE sales from December 1997 and December 2020 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 1997 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might 5 GOLD LANE be worth now?
