10 THE HERMITAGE 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 10 THE HERMITAGE sales between October 2002 and August 2016 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 May 2010 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 10 THE HERMITAGE be worth now?

10 THE HERMITAGE might now be worth an estimated £625,768.

This is based on house price inflation of 29%, between August 2016 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 29% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 THE HERMITAGE of £485,000 on 4th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £485,000 to £625,768 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 THE HERMITAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £485,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 10 THE HERMITAGE has not materially changed since August 2016.
