The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 494 DUNSTABLE ROAD sales between June 1995 and November 2003 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 July 1999 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 75% below the HPI.
