The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 HIGHFIELD ROAD sales from June 1998 and April 2022 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 June 1998 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
