16 PRIORY GATE 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 PRIORY GATE sales between October 2000 and November 2010 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 2003 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 16 PRIORY GATE be worth now?

16 PRIORY GATE might now be worth an estimated £540,888.

This is based on house price inflation of 83.7%, between November 2010 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 83.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 PRIORY GATE of £294,500 on 25th November 2010. For the value to have increased from £294,500 to £540,888 over the thirteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 PRIORY GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The November 2010 sale price of £294,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 PRIORY GATE has not materially changed since November 2010.
