2 THE DELL 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 THE DELL sales from January 1995 and August 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 1995 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 2 THE DELL be worth now?

2 THE DELL might now be worth an estimated £503,548.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.9%, between August 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 19.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE DELL of £420,000 on 20th August 2019. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £503,548 over the six years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE DELL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bedford local authority area.
• The August 2019 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE DELL has not materially changed since August 2019.
