8 SHEPHERDS MEAD 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 SHEPHERDS MEAD sales from May 2004 and November 2010 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 May 2004 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI.
