16 WIDECOMBE 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 three 16 WIDECOMBE CLOSE sales between April 1998 and August 2010 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 February 2004 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
