The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 WESTMINSTER GARDENS sales between August 1996 and June 2015 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 May 2014 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
