SQUIRRELS LEAP 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 two SQUIRRELS LEAP sales from January 2005 and August 2013 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 January 2005 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
