7 RIPON 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 7 RIPON CLOSE sales between June 1995 and June 2002 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 2000 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI.
