249 COMMON ROAD 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 249 COMMON ROAD sales from May 2013 and August 2024 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 2013 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 249 COMMON ROAD be worth now?

249 COMMON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £466,280.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.6%, between August 2024 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 3.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 249 COMMON ROAD of £450,000 on 23rd August 2024. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £466,280 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 249 COMMON ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 249 COMMON ROAD has not materially changed since August 2024.
