The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 OSPREY CLOSE sales between November 2000 and September 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2005 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI.
