6 THE PADDOCK 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 four 6 THE PADDOCK sales between February 1997 and April 2012 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 October 2003 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.
