MILL 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 MILL COTTAGE sales between January 1995 and June 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 October 2004 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
