55 WILLOUGHBY 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 three 55 WILLOUGHBY CLOSE sales between March 2000 and February 2015 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 November 2002 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
