23 WATSON WAY 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 23 WATSON WAY sales from May 2004 and July 2007 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 May 2004 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 23 WATSON WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.1%, between July 2007 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 78.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 WATSON WAY of £235,000 on 9th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £418,534 over the sixteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
