OLD RECTORY COTTAGE 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 four OLD RECTORY COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and February 2008 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 2002 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, which was also at 14% below the HPI.
