The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 48 SOUTHVILLE ROAD sales from February 1998 and August 1998 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 February 1998 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the August 1998 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
48 SOUTHVILLE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £265,856.
