8 BUTTERCUP 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 BUTTERCUP CLOSE sales from September 1995 and March 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 September 1995 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the March 2002 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 8 BUTTERCUP CLOSE be worth now?
