7 BIRD GROVE 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 7 BIRD GROVE sales from January 2017 and April 2019 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 January 2017 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 7 BIRD GROVE be worth now?
