21 RECTORY LANE 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 21 RECTORY LANE sales from February 1997 and December 2006 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 February 1997 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 21 RECTORY LANE be worth now?

21 RECTORY LANE might now be worth an estimated £711,192.

This is based on house price inflation of 90.9%, between December 2006 and February 2025, 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 90.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 RECTORY LANE of £372,500 on 20th December 2006. For the value to have increased from £372,500 to £711,192 over the nineteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The December 2006 sale price of £372,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
