18 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 five 18 THE HEATH sales between March 1995 and May 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 March 2008 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might 18 THE HEATH be worth now?

18 THE HEATH might now be worth an estimated £946,550.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.3%, between May 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 18 THE HEATH of £499,995 on 4th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £499,995 to £946,550 over the eleven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 THE HEATH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £499,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 THE HEATH has not materially changed since May 2012.
