The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 40 OSPREY ROAD sales between August 1997 and October 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 October 2015 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
