1 THE SYCAMORES 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 three 1 THE SYCAMORES sales between March 2000 and October 2018 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 October 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE SYCAMORES be worth now?

1 THE SYCAMORES might now be worth an estimated £333,625.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.1%, between October 2018 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 17.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE SYCAMORES of £285,000 on 16th October 2018. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £333,625 over the seven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
