10 THE BOWER 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 two 10 THE BOWER sales from June 2015 and April 2021 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 2015 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 10 THE BOWER be worth now?

10 THE BOWER might now be worth an estimated £510,331.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.5%, between April 2021 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 16.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 THE BOWER of £438,000 on 30th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £438,000 to £510,331 over the four years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 THE BOWER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The April 2021 sale price of £438,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 10 THE BOWER has not materially changed since April 2021.
