21 THE HERMITAGE 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 three 21 THE HERMITAGE sales between January 2003 and December 2022 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 November 2010 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 21 THE HERMITAGE be worth now?

21 THE HERMITAGE might now be worth an estimated £564,488.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.6%, between December 2022 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 2.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 THE HERMITAGE of £550,000 on 14th December 2022. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £564,488 over the two years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 THE HERMITAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 21 THE HERMITAGE has not materially changed since December 2022.
