10 VERNE DRIVE 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 two 10 VERNE DRIVE sales from July 1995 and January 1999 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 1995 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the January 1999 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 10 VERNE DRIVE be worth now?

10 VERNE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £862,269.

This is based on house price inflation of 356.2%, between January 1999 and February 2025, 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 356.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 VERNE DRIVE of £189,000 on 11th January 1999. For the value to have increased from £189,000 to £862,269 over the 25 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 VERNE DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 1999 sale price of £189,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
