15 SHEPHERDS MEAD 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 three 15 SHEPHERDS MEAD sales between March 1995 and April 2006 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 2002 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 15 SHEPHERDS MEAD be worth now?

15 SHEPHERDS MEAD might now be worth an estimated £819,401.

This is based on house price inflation of 100.8%, between April 2006 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 100.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 SHEPHERDS MEAD of £408,000 on 13th April 2006. For the value to have increased from £408,000 to £819,401 over the seventeen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 SHEPHERDS MEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2006 sale price of £408,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
