74 FENSOME 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 three 74 FENSOME DRIVE sales between August 1998 and August 2019 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 October 2010 sale was for 64% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 65% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% below the HPI.
