70 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 four 70 BIRKDALE ROAD sales between March 2001 and October 2022 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 November 2006 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
