2 THE MARTINS DRIVE 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 THE MARTINS DRIVE sales from January 2002 and June 2016 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 2002 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE MARTINS DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 30.7%, between June 2016 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 30.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE MARTINS DRIVE of £620,000 on 17th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £810,141 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
