17 SANDLEFORD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 SANDLEFORD DRIVE sales from March 2003 and September 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 March 2003 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the September 2006 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 17 SANDLEFORD DRIVE be worth now?
