25 THE RAILWAY 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 25 THE RAILWAY sales from June 2006 and October 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 June 2006 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 25 THE RAILWAY be worth now?

25 THE RAILWAY might now be worth an estimated £421,815.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.8%, between October 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 75.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 THE RAILWAY of £240,000 on 4th October 2007. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £421,815 over the sixteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 25 THE RAILWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The October 2007 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 25 THE RAILWAY has not materially changed since October 2007.
