17 THE HEATH 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 17 THE HEATH sales from November 1997 and February 2021 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 November 1997 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might 17 THE HEATH be worth now?

17 THE HEATH might now be worth an estimated £929,296.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between February 2021 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE HEATH of £780,000 on 25th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £780,000 to £929,296 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE HEATH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £780,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 THE HEATH has not materially changed since February 2021.
