The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 159 LEAFIELDS sales from October 2011 and August 2012 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 October 2011 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
