15 HARTWELL DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 HARTWELL DRIVE sales between November 1996 and June 2004 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 November 1998 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 15 HARTWELL DRIVE be worth now?

15 HARTWELL DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £390,618.

This is based on house price inflation of 110%, between June 2004 and February 2025, for 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 110% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 HARTWELL DRIVE of £186,000 on 24th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £186,000 to £390,618 over the 21 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
