The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 LYDGATE FIELDS sales from June 2018 and December 2019 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 June 2018 sale was for 349% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 349% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI.
