15 LAVENDER CLOSE 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 15 LAVENDER CLOSE sales between March 1998 and January 2021 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 2013 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 15 LAVENDER CLOSE be worth now?

15 LAVENDER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £443,073.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between January 2021 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 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 LAVENDER CLOSE of £375,000 on 22nd January 2021. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £443,073 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
