159 LEAFIELDS 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 LEAFIELDS sales from October 2011 and August 2012 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 October 2011 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 159 LEAFIELDS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 90.4%, between August 2012 and February 2025, 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 90.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 LEAFIELDS of £221,000 on 16th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £221,000 to £420,736 over the thirteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
