261A HEATH 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 three 261A HEATH ROAD sales between August 2000 and August 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 July 2018 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might 261A HEATH ROAD be worth now?

261A HEATH ROAD might now be worth an estimated £681,331.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between August 2021 and February 2025, 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 261A HEATH ROAD of £575,000 on 27th August 2021. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £681,331 over the four years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 261A HEATH ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £575,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
