10 THE FIRS 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 four 10 THE FIRS sales between April 2001 and August 2014 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 2009 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
