The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 ASHCRAFT CLOSE sales from April 2002 and May 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 April 2002 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI.
