61 PURBECK 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 61 PURBECK CLOSE sales from August 1997 and August 2021 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 August 1997 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
