The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 20 DARLOW DRIVE sales between June 2002 and September 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 October 2020 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.
