The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 188 MARLEY FIELDS sales between September 1996 and August 2023 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 July 2004 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
