12 LONGCROFT LANE 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 12 LONGCROFT LANE sales from October 2004 and July 2014 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 2004 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 12 LONGCROFT LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 65.9%, between July 2014 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 65.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 LONGCROFT LANE of £249,950 on 21st July 2014. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £414,586 over the nine years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
