TOWER HOUSE 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 TOWER HOUSE sales between July 2004 and May 2017 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 2005 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
