13 THE BRIARS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 13 THE BRIARS sales from January 1998 and September 2010 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 January 1998 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the September 2010 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 13 THE BRIARS be worth now?

13 THE BRIARS might now be worth an estimated £293,963.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.7%, between September 2010 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 89.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 THE BRIARS of £154,950 on 30th September 2010. For the value to have increased from £154,950 to £293,963 over the thirteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 THE BRIARS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The September 2010 sale price of £154,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 13 THE BRIARS has not materially changed since September 2010.
