2 MERRILS FIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERRILS FIELD sales from July 2007 and July 2014 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 July 2007 sale was for 172% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 172% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.

What might 2 MERRILS FIELD be worth now?

2 MERRILS FIELD might now be worth an estimated £1,227,918.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.7%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERRILS FIELD of £750,000 on 18th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £750,000 to £1,227,918 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

  • The value of 2 MERRILS FIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
  • The July 2014 sale price of £750,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
  • The size, condition, and specification of 2 MERRILS FIELD has not materially changed since July 2014.
