HOLLYOAKS 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 three HOLLYOAKS COTTAGE sales between November 2005 and March 2020 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 2011 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
