28 WESTWOOD CLOSE 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 three 28 WESTWOOD CLOSE sales between March 2004 and August 2021 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 2015 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 28 WESTWOOD CLOSE be worth now?
