8 BEDFORD CLOSE 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 8 BEDFORD CLOSE sales from April 1996 and October 2015 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 1996 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI.
