12 WESTERN WAY 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 two 12 WESTERN WAY sales from July 2010 and December 2011 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 2010 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 12 WESTERN WAY be worth now?

12 WESTERN WAY might now be worth an estimated £348,665.

This is based on house price inflation of 96.4%, between December 2011 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 96.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 WESTERN WAY of £177,500 on 9th December 2011. For the value to have increased from £177,500 to £348,665 over the thirteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 WESTERN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2011 sale price of £177,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
