88 BOWER STREET 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 four 88 BOWER STREET sales between February 1998 and June 2006 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 August 2003 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
