6 FURZE 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 6 FURZE CLOSE sales between October 1998 and July 2017 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 July 2006 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
