7 HELFORD 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 three 7 HELFORD CLOSE sales between July 2010 and July 2020 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 July 2014 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI.
