The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 SAFFRON CLOSE sales between December 2001 and June 2012 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2006 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI.
