16 PERCH MEWS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 PERCH MEWS sales from September 2018 and July 2022 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 2018 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 16 PERCH MEWS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.5%, between July 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 PERCH MEWS of £461,000 on 4th July 2022. For the value to have increased from £461,000 to £477,255 over the three years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
