12 THE BELFRY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 12 THE BELFRY sales between March 2000 and January 2009 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 2003 sale was for 74% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% below the HPI over time, until the January 2009 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 12 THE BELFRY be worth now?

12 THE BELFRY might now be worth an estimated £368,742.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.7%, between January 2009 and December 2024, for semi-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 97.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE BELFRY of £186,500 on 27th January 2009. For the value to have increased from £186,500 to £368,742 over the fourteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE BELFRY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2009 sale price of £186,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
