8 ORCHARD 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 8 ORCHARD DRIVE sales between May 2000 and June 2013 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 July 2005 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
