The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 253 HEATH ROAD sales from June 1995 and February 2024 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 June 1995 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
