7 THE PADDOCK 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 THE PADDOCK sales between May 1997 and May 2015 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 2002 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.
