The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 25 THE MARTINS DRIVE sales from November 2007 and October 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2007 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI.
