73 NICOLSON DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 73 NICOLSON DRIVE sales from December 2004 and October 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 December 2004 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
