FIELDS VIEW 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 five FIELDS VIEW sales between June 2003 and May 2017 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 March 2017 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
