The below table shows the price paid for the four sales, along with the average detached price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Most of the four 2 COMMON ROAD sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2021 29 APR | £825,000 | £499,525 | 65% above HPI |

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 COMMON ROAD sales between January 1999 and April 2021 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 2018 sale was for 95% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.
