GARDEN COTTAGE 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 two GARDEN COTTAGE sales from April 1999 and December 2015 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 1999 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
