51 ORCHARD CLOSE 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 51 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from February 1996 and September 2001 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 February 1996 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
