1 THE CHILTERNS 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 THE CHILTERNS sales between March 1997 and June 2010 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 July 2004 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE CHILTERNS be worth now?

1 THE CHILTERNS might now be worth an estimated £468,209.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.2%, between June 2010 and December 2024, 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 89.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE CHILTERNS of £247,500 on 17th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £247,500 to £468,209 over the thirteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE CHILTERNS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2010 sale price of £247,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE CHILTERNS has not materially changed since June 2010.
