The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 158 LONDON ROAD sales between June 1997 and April 2018 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 April 2015 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, which was also at 31% below the HPI.
