6 DORCHESTER WAY 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 6 DORCHESTER WAY sales from November 1998 and August 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 November 1998 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 6 DORCHESTER WAY be worth now?
