26 RIDGE VIEW 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 RIDGE VIEW sales from June 2010 and January 2021 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 2010 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 26 RIDGE VIEW be worth now?

26 RIDGE VIEW might now be worth an estimated £495,753.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.9%, between January 2021 and February 2025, for 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 20.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 RIDGE VIEW of £410,000 on 19th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £410,000 to £495,753 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
