26 MEADWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 MEADWAY sales from October 2003 and August 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 October 2003 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the August 2004 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 26 MEADWAY be worth now?

26 MEADWAY might now be worth an estimated £288,421.

This is based on house price inflation of 106%, between August 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bedford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 106% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MEADWAY of £140,000 on 12th August 2004. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £288,421 over the 21 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2004 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
