The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 231 BIRDSFOOT LANE sales between September 2002 and March 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 August 2007 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, which was also at 38% below the HPI.
