162 BIDEFORD GREEN 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 162 BIDEFORD GREEN sales between August 1995 and September 2009 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 February 2003 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 162 BIDEFORD GREEN be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 100.4%, between September 2009 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 100.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 162 BIDEFORD GREEN of £190,000 on 11th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £380,763 over the fourteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
