The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 HEPHER CLOSE sales from November 2019 and May 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2019 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, which was also at 9% below the HPI.
