The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 8 OSPREY ROAD sales between November 1995 and December 2019 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 2005 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.
