TOP END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three TOP END sales between October 1996 and September 2015 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 2003 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.
