The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 SCHOOL LANE sales between July 1997 and August 2023 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 August 2017 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
