17 THE RICKYARD 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 RICKYARD sales from October 2005 and April 2012 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 October 2005 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 17 THE RICKYARD be worth now?

17 THE RICKYARD might now be worth an estimated £471,331.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.3%, between April 2012 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 89.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE RICKYARD of £249,000 on 12th April 2012. For the value to have increased from £249,000 to £471,331 over the eleven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE RICKYARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2012 sale price of £249,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
