The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 254 COMMON ROAD sales from February 2006 and November 2018 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 February 2006 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
