8 PRESTON ROAD 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 PRESTON ROAD sales from September 1997 and February 2007 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 1997 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the February 2007 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 8 PRESTON ROAD be worth now?
