THE OLD CHAPEL 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 THE OLD CHAPEL sales between January 2017 and December 2024 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 November 2020 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
