1 GROVE PLACE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 GROVE PLACE sales between May 1997 and November 2022 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 2021 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might 1 GROVE PLACE be worth now?

1 GROVE PLACE might now be worth an estimated £579,883.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.4%, between November 2022 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 GROVE PLACE of £550,000 on 4th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £579,883 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 GROVE PLACE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 GROVE PLACE has not materially changed since November 2022.
