4 DICKENS 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 two 4 DICKENS CLOSE sales from August 1996 and October 2001 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 August 1996 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the October 2001 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 4 DICKENS CLOSE be worth now?
