19 WATSON WAY 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 19 WATSON WAY sales between May 2004 and July 2024 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 April 2012 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 19 WATSON WAY be worth now?

19 WATSON WAY might now be worth an estimated £429,165.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.3%, between July 2024 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 7.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 WATSON WAY of £400,000 on 31st July 2024. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £429,165 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 19 WATSON WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2024 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
