9 SOMERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 9 SOMERTON CLOSE sales between July 2016 and January 2025 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 February 2021 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.
