The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 408 OLD BEDFORD ROAD sales between September 1995 and May 2013 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 September 2005 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 159% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 159% above the HPI.
