10 BIRCHS CLOSE 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 four 10 BIRCHS CLOSE sales between March 1996 and June 2012 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 May 2006 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI.
