LONGMEAD 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 two LONGMEAD sales from May 1996 and September 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 May 1996 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
