5 PUFFIN PLACE 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 5 PUFFIN PLACE sales between August 2017 and July 2023 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 2023 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 5 PUFFIN PLACE be worth now?
