The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 MENTMORE GARDENS sales from May 2013 and October 2020 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2013 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI.
