8 CASTLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 CASTLE CLOSE sales from December 2020 and August 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2020 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI.
