16 DUKES RIDE 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 16 DUKES RIDE sales between June 1996 and August 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 September 2002 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 16 DUKES RIDE be worth now?

16 DUKES RIDE might now be worth an estimated £738,846.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.8%, between August 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 47.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 DUKES RIDE of £500,000 on 21st August 2015. For the value to have increased from £500,000 to £738,846 over the eight years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 DUKES RIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 DUKES RIDE has not materially changed since August 2015.
