2 POPES WAY 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 three 2 POPES WAY sales between August 2001 and January 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 August 2014 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 2 POPES WAY be worth now?

2 POPES WAY might now be worth an estimated £333,111.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.1%, between January 2019 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 18.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 POPES WAY of £282,000 on 18th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £282,000 to £333,111 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 POPES WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £282,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 POPES WAY has not materially changed since January 2019.
