The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 253 HILLGROUNDS ROAD sales from May 2007 and December 2021 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 2007 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, which was also at 35% below the HPI.
