5 MALMS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 5 MALMS CLOSE sales between November 1996 and December 2020 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 June 2018 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI.
