THE LIMES 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 THE LIMES sales from December 2007 and February 2020 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 December 2007 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
