6 OLIVER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 OLIVER CLOSE sales from June 2012 and July 2018 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 June 2012 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
