3 COLES 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 four 3 COLES CLOSE sales between January 1997 and December 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 January 2005 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 3 COLES CLOSE be worth now?
