7 BIRKDALE ROAD 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 three 7 BIRKDALE ROAD sales between April 1995 and August 2005 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 April 1997 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
