The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 131 COMMON ROAD sales between November 1996 and May 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 September 2004 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
