The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 MOUNTBATTEN DRIVE sales between October 1996 and July 2009 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 2004 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
