THE OLD COTTAGE 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 COTTAGE sales between August 2004 and March 2022 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 June 2017 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
