The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 51 WENTWORTH DRIVE sales between November 1996 and August 2011 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 April 2001 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
51 WENTWORTH DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £659,734.
