The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 HIGH BANKS sales from August 1996 and August 2012 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 1996 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI.
