8 BAYHAM 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 two 8 BAYHAM CLOSE sales from August 2001 and April 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 August 2001 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
