1 THE LEYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 THE LEYS sales between May 1999 and July 2011 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 February 2009 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE LEYS be worth now?

1 THE LEYS might now be worth an estimated £575,754.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.2%, between July 2011 and December 2024, for 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 93.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE LEYS of £298,000 on 29th July 2011. For the value to have increased from £298,000 to £575,754 over the twelve years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE LEYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2011 sale price of £298,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE LEYS has not materially changed since July 2011.
