The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 185 OLD BEDFORD ROAD sales from August 1997 and September 2005 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 August 1997 sale was for 107% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 107% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it rises to 176% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 176% above the HPI.
