The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 142 BENSON CLOSE sales between December 2001 and January 2011 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 March 2006 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI.
