7 THORPE 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 four 7 THORPE CLOSE sales between November 1996 and November 2013 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 2005 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI.
