12 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 five 12 THE HERMITAGE sales between October 2002 and October 2019 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 August 2016 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 12 THE HERMITAGE be worth now?

12 THE HERMITAGE might now be worth an estimated £523,561.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.4%, between October 2019 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 20.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE HERMITAGE of £435,000 on 11th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £523,561 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE HERMITAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
