23 DUKES RIDE 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 23 DUKES RIDE sales from August 1996 and January 2018 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 August 1996 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 23 DUKES RIDE be worth now?

23 DUKES RIDE might now be worth an estimated £771,906.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.8%, between January 2018 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 18.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 DUKES RIDE of £650,000 on 19th January 2018. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £771,906 over the five years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 DUKES RIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 23 DUKES RIDE has not materially changed since January 2018.
