1 GARDENER PLACE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 1 GARDENER PLACE sales between May 1995 and August 2016 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 2009 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 1 GARDENER PLACE be worth now?

1 GARDENER PLACE might now be worth an estimated £546,917.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.2%, between August 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 GARDENER PLACE of £420,000 on 12th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £546,917 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
