22 CHALKDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 22 CHALKDOWN sales from November 1997 and September 2004 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 1997 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2004 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 22 CHALKDOWN be worth now?

22 CHALKDOWN might now be worth an estimated £337,265.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.9%, between September 2004 and December 2024, for semi-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 106.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 CHALKDOWN of £163,000 on 10th September 2004. For the value to have increased from £163,000 to £337,265 over the nineteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 22 CHALKDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2004 sale price of £163,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 22 CHALKDOWN has not materially changed since September 2004.
