The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 55 CAVES LANE sales from June 2000 and June 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 June 2000 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI.
