7 BENTLEY 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 two 7 BENTLEY CLOSE sales from September 2002 and August 2016 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 September 2002 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might 7 BENTLEY CLOSE be worth now?
