81 DRAKES AVENUE 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 81 DRAKES AVENUE sales between December 2010 and December 2019 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 April 2013 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
