20 THE LINKS 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 20 THE LINKS sales from May 1998 and March 2013 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 May 1998 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it rises to 48% below the HPI.
