8 BLACK HAT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BLACK HAT CLOSE sales from January 1997 and February 2004 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 January 1997 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
