8 THE LINDENS 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 THE LINDENS sales between August 1999 and December 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 November 2014 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
