The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BLAKEDOWN ROAD sales from April 1996 and March 2004 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 1996 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
