7 BEDFORD 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 four 7 BEDFORD CLOSE sales between May 1995 and March 2024 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 May 1999 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI.
