159 COMMON ROAD 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 two 159 COMMON ROAD sales from July 2005 and February 2015 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 2005 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 159 COMMON ROAD be worth now?

159 COMMON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £578,266.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.2%, between February 2015 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 56.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 COMMON ROAD of £370,100 on 10th February 2015. For the value to have increased from £370,100 to £578,266 over the eight years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 COMMON ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2015 sale price of £370,100 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 159 COMMON ROAD has not materially changed since February 2015.
