1 COMET DRIVE 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 1 COMET DRIVE sales between October 1999 and July 2003 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 April 2003 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
