11 ORWELL CLOSE 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 five 11 ORWELL CLOSE sales between January 1996 and July 2011 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 March 2008 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 43% below the HPI.
