26 MIDLAND CLOSE 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 26 MIDLAND CLOSE sales from March 2004 and May 2014 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 March 2004 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 26 MIDLAND CLOSE be worth now?

The 71.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MIDLAND CLOSE of £250,000 on 30th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £429,721 over the nine years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
