8 KENT 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 four 8 KENT CLOSE sales between February 1997 and October 2018 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 September 2008 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 8 KENT CLOSE be worth now?
