The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 29 CASTLE ROAD sales between December 2015 and August 2019 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 2017 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, which was also at 4% below the HPI.
