The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 VALLEY MEAD sales from October 2019 and April 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 October 2019 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
