16 LOVENT DRIVE 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 five 16 LOVENT DRIVE sales between September 1998 and December 2020 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 2009 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 16 LOVENT DRIVE be worth now?
