16 LAVENHAM 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 two 16 LAVENHAM DRIVE sales from August 1998 and July 2006 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 August 1998 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 16 LAVENHAM DRIVE be worth now?
