SILVER BIRCH 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 SILVER BIRCH sales between January 1999 and September 2010 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 2005 sale was for 141% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 141% above the HPI over time, until the September 2010 sale, where it rises to 142% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 142% above the HPI.
