4 QUEENS 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 three 4 QUEENS CLOSE sales between July 2000 and December 2017 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 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 4 QUEENS CLOSE be worth now?
