2 FRANCES COTTAGES 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 2 FRANCES COTTAGES sales from January 2016 and July 2019 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 January 2016 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might 2 FRANCES COTTAGES be worth now?

2 FRANCES COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £1,064,587.

This is based on house price inflation of 21%, between July 2019 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 21% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 FRANCES COTTAGES of £880,000 on 12th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £880,000 to £1,064,587 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 FRANCES COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £880,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 FRANCES COTTAGES has not materially changed since July 2019.
